superstition" An irrational belief that an object, action, or circumstance not logically related to a course of events influences its outcome. Ill be the firsst to admit Im out of my league here. I dont have the education you have. Its very obvious in my gramar on the internet.....but my mind is not a blank nor am I stupid.........Im an athiest THER IS NO GOD OR GODS.....as is said alot is faith and stuff.....the burden of proof is not on me.....cause Im not makeing any claims......I DONT BELIEVE IN GOD........its the theist that must show the burdon of proof to show me there is a god.....how many times in history have we had VIrgin births and Raised from the dead.... Like in Egypt....I could go back several more virgin births 3 wise men stories...........I shouldnt say we had....I should of said How many times has it been claimed. So this is the best way I can put it out there. I dont read alot of books.......have a 9th grade educationi due to haveing raise a family when my dad died...........but I think I have intelligence enough not to live a dislutioinal life and enjoy what time I have here.......cause once your dead thats it..........some say well what does it hurt to say you accept jesus as your savior......there again its delutional............hedgeiing your bets dont count............There is no god and I wont go to a pizza oven for eternity.....thats the best way I can say it.......Im ready for the bashing due to my gramar but I hope my ideas did come through a bit so you can see how I see it. Thank you all in here cause Im enjoying the reading.

pad, you're much more interesting. we'll pass by the nonsensical comparison of god to santa claus, it's a disingenuous tactic that i've used myself and really not worth the keystrokes to disassemble. i'll even be generous and try to ignore the rather inane statement "There might be a god, who knows? Nobody. That's why I'm an atheist.", a phrase which, when combined with your countless posts in the past, places you firmly in the atheistic agnostic camp. what interests me more is all this supposed evidence you cite to prove that none of man's gods exist. how do you propose to prove this ill-defined entity is pure fiction? the absence of proof of existence certainly isn't proof of nonexistence. has someone found an empty hole in the universe with the instructions "insert god here" printed plainly on it? did god visit you and say, "i'm leaving now and no one is taking my place"?
