Proof for being an atheist

[Vincent]

Am I an atheist, or do I just believe I am? 

Well let's see here. 

Hypothesis: If I fit the definition of what an atheist is, then I must be an atheist. 

Experiment:

ATHEIST: noun. a person who disbelieves or lacks belief in the existence of God or gods. 

Do I believe in any god of any religion? No. 

Do I believe in a god that created the universe or that controls our lives? No.

Do I believe that any god, as defined by society, exists? No.

Conclusion: I fit the description, so I am an atheist.

Sorry, but to be honest that's as stupid as a monkey chasing his tail (if he had one);

Oh, you'd be surprised how many monkeys have tails.

More dim-wittedness from Jenny A!

Fuck you.

Thanks.  But it really is true that I take this kind of response as a compliment.  The subtext is, I can't refute what you say.  So I read it as, "you own my ass."  And I do. Too bad it would be no fun to spank, just icky.

Can I prove that I am an atheist?
I suppose the best way to judge my thoughts is by what I say on the subject.
The best way to judge that would be to see my responses on some sort of discussion forum that dealt with the matter such as this one.
Even then I suppose I could be playing the long game and actually being a theist poe or arsehole as I like to call them, but this gets less likely the more consistent the stance and the longer the time posting these responses.
In summary, I cannot definitively prove that I am an atheist on a chat forum, but the chances that I am not are slim and it is a banal claim so who gives a fuck anyway.

Like a slow motion train wreck.

The title of this thread may sound weird, but that's my intention with this thread. I am going to ask you peeps that question. So without further ado, give me proof of your claim that you are an atheist, proof that you can believe in no God, proof that you are not just basing your opinion on dust, or dirt, or soot. Proof that you are an atheist too.... Because I don't believe that your "atheism" was not created by human eyes, human ears, human stupidity.... I believe, to the contrary, that your atheism was created around the 1900's, that it's a new upstart to the world of "fiction"; that you have never been more than a disbeliever.....

I believe that you do not believe in God, can not be contributive, cannot base your beliefs on your acts and can not act positively as a result. You cannot give to charity (or at least I wouldn't want you to), you cannot base your beliefs on the faith in your beliefs which beg for your positive contribution to the world. The world begs you for love.   Give it or else!

I also believe that you are not an atheist, however, and this thread will prove weather I am right or wrong. Are you an atheist? Or are you just coming to that conclusion due to some sorting out of the theories? Well, the good news is, if I'm right, and there is no proof for atheism (and all of it's bad fundamentalisms), you can still be a valuable part of your beliefs. All you'd have to do is act them, and then again, that is all you'd be forced to do. To start being contributive. To start a conversation and contribute to it's positive gain, to converse with friends or neighbors and be an actual, productive citizen during the process....

So, are you an atheist, or do you just believe that you are?

Thankfully God is not a non existing proposition.

Why don't you tell us what god is instead of what it isn't?
