-Is an atheist myself.- Alright- Let's see...Atheists are usually interpreted as "A person who believes there is no god" right? Even if that's not the ACTUAL definition, that's what people get out of it.- Now I think that is incorrect. I think a better definition of atheist is "One who rejects the existance of any currently or previously worshiped deity". Or somethin' like that...Here's why.-
An atheist doesn't make the assertion that there IS no god. We simply don't believe in any that have been brought to our attention yet. You can't prove there is no god, you can't prove (or..disprove) a negetive. I also can't prove there is no bigfoot, that doesn't mean there is one. I can't prove there isn't an invisible pirate selling honey buns in outter space, but that doesn't mean there is one. See? We can only disprove 'evdence' in favor of god as it comes to us. I'm sure if atheists were confronted with evidence for a god, that we couldn't deny, there would be far less of us, right?
