If you don't belive in god because there is no evidence of him,
why do you belive he doesnt exists if there is no proof that he dosent exist? I don't get your logic, if you even have logc.

Most people would have been respectful until you added "...if you even have logic." Prepare for the defecation to hit the rotary oscillator.
Atheist logic is far more credible than the logic of blind faith.
* Cute. You gave me a thumbs down and I'm not an atheist.

You don't get 'our' logic because it's logic. You seem to prefer faith and insults.
If something does not exist then there will be no proof that it does not exist.
If something does exist, there will be proof that it does, although this proof may not be clear.
If something is implausible, there's no proof of its existence, and those that claim it exists also claim it can't possibly be proven, then it's not a big leap of logic to assume it doesn't exist.
I assume that you do not believe in Zeus. Am I right? There is no evidence of him and there's no evidence that he doesn't exists. So, according to your logic, that must mean that he might exist and you can't be sure.
Let's go one step further. The Flying Spaghetti Monster is a made up god (may he please not strike me down with his noodly appendages). There is no evidence of him and there's no evidence that he doesn't exist. By your logic, despite it being no secret that this is a made up god, you'd have to say you can't be sure if he exists or not.
Now, I'm sure you can see that neither of these last two paragraphs is actually a logical proof that these gods might exist. So do you understand how flawed your logical argument is?

Here is the logic: I'll believe it when I see it. You are right, there is no proof that he/she does not exist. However, I chose to belive that it is not real, just like others chose to believe that it is. Its like the question of seeing the glass half full or half empty. We believe what we do based on the information that we have. Get it?

We don't get your "logic". It's logical to believe in a thing that's never been seen? It's logical to believe in an invisible guy in the sky? Atheism is not the illogical thing. Every human is born an atheist, and then they're told and taught about "God" by others. You only believe in the God you believe in because that's what you were told. If you were born into a family of muslims, you'd believe that. Religion is the ILLOGICAL thing. Atheism is natural.

Why don't you believe in flying pigs? Prove to me that they don't exist. you can't can you? Here watch I'll use catholic proofsets. You've never seen flying pigs? Well I know someone who has seen flying pigs, that is enough for me. I have a book here that quotes flying pigs. It is not possible? Well it is the holy pig, it can do ANYTHING.
Does that mean it makes sense to believe in it, just because you can't disprove it? And you say we lack logic. If you were born in another specific geographic region you would believe some other religion. And you say we lack logic, at least we can make a decision based on somethign more than where our parents were born.

The idea that an intelligent entity could exist with no origin is an obvious nonsense. Intelligence can only have one of two possible origins: An unthinking, undirected natural process (evolution) or creation by an antecedent intelligence. Since a creator deity would by definition have neither of these origins, such a thing cannot exist.

Do you believe in the Easter Bunny? There is no evidence of the Easter Bunny so why believe? That is our logic. How can YOU believe one book that was written thousands of years ago. Did you see any of the so called miracles? Did you see the parting of the Red Sea? Did you see the burning bush? Did you see Jesus rise from the tomb and ascend into the heavens? I don't get YOUR logic, if YOU even have logic.

There is more evidence to suggest he doesn't exist. It's like saying, "how can you be sure there isn't a purple cow standing on the other side of this door?" My bet, based on logic, is that there is no purple cow.

You don't get our logic, because it is logic.
As a theist your brain has degenerated to the point of regurgitation of information. You have lost the ability to contemplate and think rationally.
As to the question, do you have any evidence that leprechauns don't exist?
Do you believe in leprechauns?

I'll bet a lot of other athiests will say this but I will too. There's no evadince that anyother got that has been refered to in human history dosent exist. But they all condradict eachother, so it seems more logical to say they are all creations of man.
