C'mon. Be more than that, Pale.
By the way, I've been doing this for over TWO decades...not just one.
I am not a troll; I am not a loser; and I sure as hell am not an atheist...even though so many atheist want me to be one.
Have a good day...and go with the flow. Don't let others rule you.
I do not feel superior to either.
Right now I am simply saying that there is absolutely no way anyone can KNOW that there are no gods.

I do not believe in any god/s.
It's a short sentence. Too difficult for you?
Poor you, LFC. Poor you.
I certainly will say that the reality is that anyone who says, "I believe there are no gods"...is actually saying, "I am guessing that there are no gods."
Nothing whatever wrong with making that guess...AND IT MAY EVEN BE A CORRECT GUESS.
Too bad so many atheists don't have the ethical wherewithal to simply acknowledge it as a guess.

Just wondering?
If a jury finds a defendant “not guilty,” does that mean that they also think they know that he’s innocent?
No.
Qualifier: In American law...a person is presumed innocent until proven guilty. So, theoretically, if a jury does not find a defendant guilt, he is deemed by American law to be innocent.
But I understand the thrust of your question...and I will stick with the answer, NO.
So...go ahead and make something of that.
