Default Re: Atheism is retarded...

[ QUOTE ]
a·the·ist Audio pronunciation of "atheist" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (th-st)
n.

One who disbelieves or denies the existence of God or gods.


an atheist is one who does not believe in god. it doesnt say that they are certain that there isnt a god.

[/ QUOTE ]


Forgot to respond to this...

IMO, denying the existence = concluding that there is not a God, no?

I guess, I dont see a difference between:

- I deny the existence of God
- I believe, with 100% certainyty, that God does not exist.



If there is a difference between the two, and, somehow, atheism does not necessarily imply that said person is 100% sure that God doesnt exist, then I retract my statement.

(FWIW... I dont feel I am being close-minded, because my point is that atheism (at least my understanding of it) has a logical hole)
