Question for the forum ~ Is the above statement typical of the mindset of atheist in general, and does it explain why they're so cocksure there is no God?
After all, it's difficult for someone as dense as I am to imagine how much one would have to know to know there is no God.
@secondson saidWho are you claiming has said "there is no God"?

@secondson saidAs I said elsewhere, if your religious faith - and your belief in your particular God figure - gives you purpose in life, gives you some solace in the face of the inevitability of death, and gives you moral guidance, then I think it's good for you and possibly good for those around you.

@fmf saidThank you for your condescension.

@bigdoggproblem saidSeems you've captured the character of the entire forum with that assessment.
Oh, look; another thread based on a personal pissing contest.

An atheist is a non-theist .
I understand you are quite dense , but that is still no reason to believe in things which you have no proof even exist and then throw around bad information about others lack of belief in your fairy tales .
@secondson saidIt's something positive that I think about religious faith such as yours.
Thank you for your condescension.
@secondson saidYour OP is clearly referring to me. Are you, then, accepting that I have never said "there is no God"?
Atheists. Duh! 🙂
@bigdoggproblem saidSecondSon seems to want this thread to be about atheists who believe "there is no God" and not me personally.
Oh, look; another thread based on a personal pissing contest.
@secondson saidNo ... no; this is your limited perception speaking.
Seems you've captured the character of the entire forum with that assessment.
It is true; the standards of debate here have fallen many levels from that of years ago. However, there are still people debating questions [i.e., playing the ball, and not the man, or woman] here.
@secondson saidcocksureYes, how dare ANY of us be "cocksure"!
We would be like Paramecium bragging about our extraordinary sense of navigation.
@bigdoggproblem saidI can't see or use any emoticons with this browser.
I am not sure you actually believe that.
I mean, seriously, you'd have to be absolutely obtuse not to see this thread as a shot at you.
But you're not obtuse.
Neeeext!
