Webster's defines ATHEIST as "one who does not believe in god". Since it has been my experience in dealing with many atheists over the years that they often "hedge" on defining themselves, providing the word with an accura...read more

Atheists don't believe there is a God, and under no circumstances will they ever believe there is a God. As someone who has a strong believe in God and who is also very open minded about everything, I cannot understand or...read more
The inconceivability of God or a "supreme being" to the atheist is quite simply an act of selfishness and bitterness. Why else would a human being, the most advanced of the seemingly countless entities in the world that ca...read more

In response to the extremely patronising view of David Vanriper who disregards our freedom to NOT believe, I would like to point out a f law in his generic argument. I quote "The first argument is misleading, if not dis...read more
Athiesm, or the disbelief in a God/higher power of any kind, is a position of pride. Most of them must have been born in Misouri, because they are 'show me' people. If you can't prove it, I won't believe it. In actuali...read more
