I have some questions for the posters here.

I have some questions for the posters here.
I joined this forum to ask some questions of people who use “atheist” as a descriptor (or part of a descriptor)…so, if I may, here goes.
 
First, a predicate:
 
My personal take on the question, “Are there any gods?” (which seems to be a subset of, “What is the true nature of the REALITY of existence?”) is:

I do not know if any "gods"** exist or not;

I see no reason to suspect gods CANNOT EXIST...that the existence of gods is impossible;

I see no reason to suspect that gods MUST EXIST...that gods are needed to explain existence;

I do not see enough unambiguous evidence upon which to base a meaningful guess in either direction...

...so I don't.


**When I use the word "god" I mean "The entity (or entities) responsible for the creation of what we humans call 'the physical universe'...IF THERE IS SUCH AN ENTITY."

A few preliminary questions:
 
Is there anyone here who asserts, “No gods exist?”

Is there anyone here who asserts that he/she KNOWS that no gods exist?

Is there anyone here who asserts that it is impossible for gods to exist?
