Atheists don't accept the claim that gods exist...i.e. we *all* lack belief in deities.

Very few make the assertion that gods don't exist.

Those are very different positions that must be understood, before discussing the merits of atheism.
Disappointing theists since 1968!

From my pov, it's the weirdest thing. OFC "God" can be disproven. It's an evidentiary claim that either succeeds or fails......?

What it boils down to, I think, is that many peoples gods have been disproven, but they simply cant accept it, so they bullshit themselves and anyone who might be listening.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

'My name is Earl' is one of my favorite sitcoms.

You need to evaluate the rationale/evidence of the belief, then pick.

How fortunate that there was a strike. That's way 'My name is Earl (Carl)' remains classic.

Boy, you wouldn't understand that etymological dictionaries and  English subtitles made the difference, would you?

Hi, brewer,

It is Bulgarian. 

It is so close to English, that I just replace words.

Religious views are 7777788888? Yeah, no. I’m sure you’re a totally serious poster.
