They believe they can win, yet they cannot prove it. Ergo, it is a religion according to you Rick Blaine.

Better to remain silent and thought a fool, than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.

Rick Blaine, I'd recommend not citing any quotations from my posts. I'm trying hard to be polite, but I'm losing patience. If you don't cite my posts, I won't bother you at all.

But if you cite my post, I'll be back at ya.

Messy.

Luckily im smarter and understand history enough to know that religion and politics always blend, especially Atheism, the most vile and self destructive religon in history clinging to the coat tails of Communism to force their nothing religion on the unsuspecting masses.

Your thoughts?

Atheism is simply the response of someone who says "I don't see any logic or proof in your argument." Atheists have nothing to prove. They are only stating that the theists have not presented any proof of their wild claims and assertions of supernatural powers or events.

If you claim there is a god or gods, prove that claim. That is the essence of atheism; a belief in the abject lack of such proof.

Atheism is the positive belief there is no god, not the belief you cannot prove a god exists.

The term has no reference to God at all.
