My parting words in this thread are those of others on atheism: Dan Barker: A former fundamentalist preacher who has become an activist for atheism, freethought, and the separation of church and state. He wrote in his 1992 book "Losing Faith in Faith: From Preacher to Atheist" that: It turns...- MarkFL

Well, I know you will not budge (and I suspected you would concoct some way to refuse to see my clear analogy using the parity of the number of grains of sand in the Sahara), but I am hoping others will read my posts and come to a better understanding of what atheism actually is. It is only for...- MarkFL

Yet again, wrong. You are certainly entrenched in your misconception. The atheist says, I do not accept "God is." This is NOT the same as claiming "God is not." If you tell me the number of grains of sand in the Sahara desert is an even number, I will reject your claim, but this does not mean I...- MarkFL

I know I am agnostic, and I know I am an atheist, in so far as my belief that reality exists and that I'm not a block of code in a computer simulation will allow. :P- MarkFL

The point of the blog post to which I originally linked is that regarding the claims of theism, we are all truly agnostic. If we actually had evidence, then faith would not be required. This has nothing to do with proof, but with evidence. Now some may counter that it takes faith to believe in...- MarkFL

I am an agnostic atheist, as most atheists are. Most of us reject theism because of skepticism, and strong atheism is subject to the same skepticism as theism.- MarkFL

You misunderstand what atheism in general is. You use strong atheism in place of the more general atheism. As I stated, I understand the reason for this, dishonest as it may be. If I as an atheist were to claim that there is/are no god/gods, then yes I would have a burden of proof. Those who...- MarkFL

This is where I firmly disagree...theism is an acceptance of the belief in god/gods, and atheism is the rejection of that belief (and not the belief in no god/gods). A theist has a belief, and an atheist has no belief (not a belief in the opposite), but both deal explicitly with what is believed.- MarkFL
