Oy vey!, so I have to define what an
Atheist is for you?
Fine, for some excellent definitions go here:
I tend to think of anyone who says
they’re Atheist as meaning that they are not believing in God but
it just means a lack of belief in God or Gods. Now that may seem a
bit weird and not terribly helpful delineation, but the critical bit
is the “lack of belief” vs actively believing that Gods don’t
exist.

| He makes a very good point. |
Many Atheists just quietly go about
their lives not talking about God, not acknowledging their status as
atheists because they don’t have belief in one or many Gods. This
doesn’t mean they’re agnostic, though they might define
themselves that way just to avoid the stigma that seems attached to
the term “Atheist” but it does mean that they lack belief, (or
for the religious – faith).
Now this means that the only people who
don’t have a little bit of Atheism in them, are those crazy folks
who manage to believe in all gods at the same time (I haven’t met
one and don’t anticipate that I will). Those folks believe in all
the pagan gods of Zeus, Aphrodite, Loki, Thor, Isis, Amen’Ra etc.
etc. as well as believing in all the flavors of the Abrahamic
religions, and any other gods you could name. So which ones don’t
you believe in? (no that doesn’t make them Pantheists – that’s
something else, so go look it up.)
Yep, if you’ve chosen a faith and
excluded all the other beliefs as false, then you have a little bit
of Atheism in you. So I guess the question is? Are you okay with
your lack of belief in those other gods?, with having a little bit of
Atheism in you? Or do you now believe you’re going to start eating
babies? Or are you now a tool of Satan!!! Or is that little bit of
Atheism in you trying to get out? Maybe it’ll come out like a
chest bursting alien. . . yuk! Truly, you should be careful what you
choose to believe.

Atheists just take it one step further
and they have a lack of belief in any gods, even yours. They may
have many reasons for this lack of belief and of course there are
some who believe that there are no Gods at all, and that the
mysteries yet remaining in our natural world are simply not yet
explained by science, that we all just have a lack of knowledge.
There is no proof yet of either the existence of God, or the
nonexistence of God, but there is a preponderance of evidence
mounting against the existence of God, and if a God does exist, it’ll
be nothing like what has heretofore been imagined by human beings.
It will have about as much interest in
Earth as you have in the bacteria on that dandylion over there. And
I daresay it will have even less interest in one particular person’s
needs vs. another’s so your prayers to win the lottery? Or to get
that job? If it makes you feel better sure, but the “god” you
hear listening and acting in your life, is you. If you got anywhere
in life, if you won or earned anything it was from your own hard work
or that of others in your life helping you. Remember that and thank
them and yourself.
Now I suppose you want me to prove that
there’s more evidence for the non-existence of God then for his
existence? So where’s your peer reviewed experiments that prove
the existence of God? (and when I say peer reviewed, I don’t mean
some creationist stooge friends of yours who also believe in God and
will slap their name and lack of reputation on any bit of BS that
thinks it’s shiney enough to pass as science.)
While you’re working on that, take a
look at any branch of science you like and you’ll soon find
evidence that either refutes or raises questions about the likelihood
of God and the many ridiculous claims of the Religions. Really, any branch at all.
