I can see maybe 99% percent sure, but not 100%. 100% signifies you have undisputable fact and truth you are correct. NEITHER OF YOU DO ! So for the sake of argument cant you just say your not sure 100% and lets move on.

I am 100% sure of what I believe. I don't have to proof anything to anyone.

Sure, there is no atheist argument per se, in practice it simply means that you don't accept that others know and have the right to impose their beliefs on you. Maybe we were made of mud by a big guy a couple of thousand years ago, or aliens, or who knows. Any faith that I do have however will be put in science and people that are trying to figure things out, not those who know it all (from any particular book) already.

No, I'm sure. As sure as anyone can be about anything, anyway. Can I admit that I could be wrong? Yes, but only in the way that without knowledge of everything in existence, I logically have to. But I am still sure. If someone tells that they have severed my left index finger and put it in their pocket, can I not be sure of whether or not that's true? I can can look at my own hand and see that my finger is still there, do I have to go any further? Do I really have to check their pocket to make sure? I don't think I do. I'm as sure about it as it's possible for anyone to be about anything, we may as well just call that 100%. Anything else is just wasting time playing semantics.

Good luck on that one.
I don't think the atheists tend to speak with absolute conviction. I hear a lot of "I don't believe there's a god" as compared to "there is no god." I hear very few atheists suggesting that no one else should be allowed to practice religion the way they want. I only hear atheists suggesting that one group's beliefs shouldn't be forced down everyone else's throats.
On the flip side -- most Christians seem quite sure of their beliefs and appear to feel that everyone else is flat out wrong. Furthermore, the lack of blind belief that mirrors their beliefs seems to be a persona affront that must be stomped out. How intensely these attitudes are held varies greatly of course, from great tolerance to great intolerance of the beliefs of others. Its the intolerance that leaves a bad taste.

You simply do not understand atheists.
I do not know for sure that world is not sitting on the back of a giant turtle. There's absolutely nothing in anyone's experience that it is, but I don't know for sure that we're not on the back of a turtle.
Atheism isn't about banging your fist on the table screaming there is no god (for some it may be, but not for most). It's about saying god is such a ridiculous concept to begin with, and there's absolutely zero evidence that he-she-it exists, that it's idiotic to spend time thinking, worrying, or wondering about it. There are far better things to do. If you want to know how the universe works, spend the time studying science.
'nuff said.

I'm 100% sure.
It doesn't signify that I have everything but what I need to base my feeling on. There is NO doubt in my mind whatsoever. No niggling feeling, no voice in the deep dark recesses. I'm as correct as I need to be in order to live a happy well adjusted life.
If you don't want to discuss it further - don't ask a new question.
That's called BAIT.
You're not sure - don't project your own feelings and thoughts onto others.

I'm 100% sure that even the simplest bacterium can't just exist without something being responsible for the organisation and complexity of its structure and functions, so the idea that something infinitely more remarkable exists without an origin of any kind (a super-intelligent deity) is patently absurd.

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."

One doesn't have to be 100% sure of something to believe in it.
If religious zealots needed proof the world would be a much more stable place.
I am 100% sure that nobody on Earth knows anything about the creator of the universe.
