    Odd to look in the "Evidence that "Atheism" is not a sound belief" thread to find evidence from atheists that god does not exist.
    I don't look in the Trade idea with Golden State thread to find trade ideas with New York.

    Atheism = belief
    Belief = proof to justify belief
    Atheism being sound = proof that their belief is sound.

    belief=proof to justify belief? Odd, most religious people seem to just have faith in their belief, and say they need no proof. But, I wouldn't expect you to read or understand anything anyone else says anyways, as the point of not showing you proof has been mentioned about 150 times, and goes right in one ear, and right out the other with you.

    I believe unicorns do not exist. I do not have proof. I would still call my belief they do not exist a sound one, even in the absence of proof. Same with santa and big foot.

    You're right. It's not very sound.

    "evidence god doesn't exist" is the straw man. Ad infinitum.

    well, yippee then, 36 pages, and then I guess you must feel satisfied in being "right" about showing others that their belief is not sound. I dunno what to do with myself now.

    You are missing one very important detail. Theists "Have Faith" in their doctrine. They believe their doctrine and personal testimony as enough proof. Atheism, on the other hand, claim that science has proven God does not exist. So their faith is in science. So since we know that science is based on logical testing on theory; they should have more than enough proof to prove Atheism is a sound belief.

    Nothing... There is nothing you need to do with yourself. Do you need me to tell you?

    I don't have much belief in anything I can't prove or have proof exists. Like smurfs.

    atheism, by definition, is a lack of belief in god. There is nothing within the definition that says atheists know that science has proven the lack of existence. Now you're just adding on additional requirements, or trying to lump ALL atheists with some to prove a point that isn't there. Some theists believe the bible is the literal truth. the definition of a theist does not require that ALL theists believe that the bible is the literal truth and word of god. So it'd be unfair of me to say well, since you have admitted you now think the world is older than the bible says, that means that there is proof there is no god, because the book is no longer infallible, and thus ALL lies.

    Atheism makes no claim to prove god doesn't exist. That's the straw man.

    What does that have to do with "God"? We are talking about intelligent design. Doesn't apply here Denny.

    Did you read this or just post it?

    Belief there is no god. Right. There's no evidence there is one.

    Same for #2.
