you dont have to win me.. just prove you exists.

Well, to prove I exist, I would send you some Photo ID and a copy of my Birth Certificate, but that would be just crazy. A DNA sample would be out of the question. I'm not about to start cutting off body parts and fedexing them to you to prove I exist. And I'm not about to shell out money to travel to where you are.
Could you possibly define the parameters of proof of existence you require from me?
It's okay if you doubt that I exist. I don't believe I do either.

Ok. Out of all the questions I have seen on this site, this is probably the most ridiculous.
"No grounds for Atheism?" Do you even know what "grounds" means? There is no proof of Atheism, in that you are correct. But there is no proof for Christianity either...or Judiasm, or any other religion. Can you prove that there is a god? Can you show me unmovable proof that God exists? No. So, really, your sentence should say, "There is no ground for any religion."
Furthermore....atheist gospel? Preach? The facts I stand on are the fact that there is no proof of a God. Where are the facts you stand on?

Atheist is simply the word that describes people who find that there are no compelling reasons to believe in god(s). That's all there is to it. That definition, by the way, INCLUDES agnostics (weak-atheist position). Fine tuning that, though, it is necessary to focus on WHY the atheist and agnostic do NOT BELIEVE. The atheist does not find the reasons to believe to be compelling. The agnostic does NOT BELIEVE because he finds that there is insufficient evidence to decide one way or the other whether gods do or do not exist.
The 'strong' atheist position goes further, asserting a 'belief' that there are no gods. If you are capable of distinguishing subtle nuances of meaning, please make an effort to understand that BELIEVING that god DOES NOT exist is somewhat different than NOT believing that god DOES exist.

The broader, and more common, understanding of atheism among atheists is quite simply "not believing in any gods." No claims or denials are made — an atheist is just a person who does not happen to be a theist. Sometimes this broader understanding is called "weak" or "implicit" atheism. Most good, complete dictionaries readily support this.

Somehow you think atheists are concerned with converting people, you are mistaken. We as a group are concerned with keeping religion out of government, that's about it.
Look at the evidence and make your own decision.
There are plenty of sources to get info from. Search if you;re interested.

I usually do not do this, but......
I see no grounds for belief in a god. No hard, physical proof has ever existed, yet people still believe. I don't want the faith line in this. That is bs. ALL religious books were written by man, not this god itself. Since written by man, who is fallible, they are just stories. Give me real proof.

No.
You are just an arrogant sh*thead, not worth the time and effort.
If you want to believe atheists don't exist, fine. You are the only one who will look like a fool.

There is no atheistic gospel. The only thing we all have in common is the belief that there is no god.
Simple.

This is not really what you where asking for, but I read it the other day and thought I would pass it along to you....
"I'd rather die believing there was a God and find out there wasn't, than die believing there was no God and find out there was."

I am not a atheists, and it isn't even a religion. it's a philosophy. if it were a religion, what do they believe in? what do they practise? if they did practise anything, that means they believe in something, which would not make them atheists.
