Even the world's most famous atheists don't claim to know with 100% certainty that there is no god. The difference between atheists and agnostics is typically that agnostics may feel: "nobody knows, so both could be right and are equally probable" whereas an Atheist is more liable to say, "There's no way to know for sure, but god is vastly, staggeringly improbable. The odds of god existing are so remote and the evidence is so non-existent, that it's a safe bet he doesn't exist."
The problem is there isn't a 50/50 chance that a personal god exists, there is so much evidence against and nothing in favor except for an old book that contradicts reality and itself.

I don't think so. I think that the notion of a god is in fact ridiculous. By styling myself an agnostic I would concede that the possibility that god is real has the same validity as the possibility that it is not real. This I cannot do. In the same way you would have to say that you are not 100% sure that the flying spaghetti monster does not exist. Are you?

I call myself Agnostic/Atheist. While I may not believe in god I am willing to say that I may be wrong, but right now there is no real evidence that I am wrong or that god does actually exist. I know I don't have all the answers, and I know that no one can give me all the answers.

Yeah, you get us for making that accross the line judgement!
"so to claim your 100% in either direction is a FLAW. Get over it. We should ALL be agnostic!"
Oops, your hypocrisy is hanging out. Cover that up before trying to show us how much better you are next time.

I do believe 100%. And I think being an agnostic is a cop out.

I think we act on reasonalbe certainty. A numerical value on a thought process is of little importance when the quantitative power of belief or doubt is miniscule. As a juror you act on reasonable doubt. Given sufficient facts it is more than enough. Where the bible or any other so called holy book is replete with falsehoods and error they cannot reasoanbly the works and word of an allknowing god. Where there is no evidence of a personal god or any god at all the likelihood of the existance of god as we know it can be quantified as lets say so unlikley as to be false. That is enough.

Actually, why the existence of a deity can not be totally disprove, if taken in anywhere near a literal realm, the Bible has already been disproven with 100% certainly long ago. Not just on one case, but in fact by many.

Some Atheists are as bad as Christians in their though processes. Look at some of the answers and questions on R&S, and it doesn't take long to figure this out.

I am 100% sure. Richard Dawkins explains the facts very well in his recent book, The God Delusion.
"when one person suffers from a delusion it is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion it is called Religion."
