I'm not saying you believe in God, so don't think that i am. I am simpling saying that you atheist ,say you have no belief, in a higher form of life. That is your choice. but that is not what i am saying. You base you belief on nothing, but it is based on something. In order to believe that nothing exist, one must believe in something. I am not trying to get you to believe in what i believe or change your beliefs. As some of you think i am. thats not the case. I am simply saying that you do have a belief.

Of course we believe in something. Everyone in the world has at least one belief, be it 'I believe I like chicken, I do I do', or 'I believe I shouldn't have cheated on my wife with her sister', or 'I believe in the Celestial Teapot'.
Or, an atheist, 'I do not believe in god'.

Yes. Atheism is a belief system. I'm an atheist because i see no scientific proof--observation and experiment-- that there's a god.
Most people have a belief system about a lot of things. But I'm against organized religion. It has caused a lot of trouble in the past centuries. Any absolute belief system does--such as communism.

I still think you are confused. I, as an atheist, do not base my disbelief on nothing. I base my disbelief in your god on the lack of evidence that supports the existence of such a deity. You are mistaken in your assumption that I base my "belief" on "nothing".
I do not believe that nothing exists. I believe I exist, I believe the earth exists, I believe my computer exists. You are mistaken in your assumption that I "believe that nothing exist".
Yes, I do have beliefs in many things. I just don't have beliefs in god(s).

I'll tell you what happens when we die. Our physical body is buried about 6 feet under in a coffin that can range from a $5 wooden box to a $50000 overpriced luxurious coffin (figures may vary). Over time our bodies decay and bugs have their way with us. If we have an open casket funeral then a makeup artist gets paid too much money to plaster makeup on us to make it look like we are not dead, just sleeping. What else is to question?
Oh, and yes, by the Christian ideology, I am going to hell.

Tortured as that logic was, I kinda 'get' what you are saying. From my experience with atheists, they DO believe in a higher form of life - humans. They can look in the mirror and see one of those. As for their disbelief in the christian god (or any other for that matter), that is based on simple logic. They are WAY into logic.

Thank-you for being respectful you question is verry well written. I am an atheist and i truly don't know what happens when you die i have no proof therefor i can not comment i really cant see what all the fuss is about it is as simple as that and till the day an angel comes to visit me i don't feel i have the right to comment without any proof to back me up

~~~jc ,,,,You are lost in your own Semantics and you answer yourself in your own presentation. As an atheist, I concurr that a belief in "nothing" is indeed The Belief of Nothingness, in the context of a Supreme Being. What's the problem with that?

Why are you having so much trouble understanding this? Belief is belief! Atheists have them as well as religious people. It's not as difficult as you're trying to make it.

They have studied science in debt. They have studied the Nebular Theory, Abiogenesis, The Bibg Bang Theory and Evolution. To Atheists it's about that and on logical observations.

Yes, you are correct. Atheists must actually have a greater belief than christians. They believe that there is nothing but themselves.
