A weak Atheist would say no, and a strong Atheist would say yes. A strong Atheist can say I don't know for sure and be agnostic, but still believes there is no God.
And a weak debater would assume belief is a prerequisite to not accepting the concept of God.
Did it ever cross your mind this may be a result of a lack of evidence rather than any kind of hunch which is basically what belief amounts to?
Of course it did, you just chose to phrase the question that particular way because answering it would mean falsely acknowledging Atheism is a belief system as opposed to plain lack of belief.
That *is* a loaded question and you know it.
I am rather disappointed you resorted to this kind of ploy, it is something many of our more radical theists would resort to. I will not mention names but I believe we both know who I'm referring to and it is definitely not something you want to aspire to.
No, there is weak Atheism, which would say "no".
Strong Atheism is not merely a lack of belief, but belief God(s) does/do not exist. And would say yes.
It's not a loaded question as far I can tell.
