"Sorry, Steve.   Atheism conveys more of a degree of certainty than is justified.

By the way, if you think the human mind can in fact know if there is a God or gods--a subject on which by definition there is no proof-- I'd have to say your arrogance is quite striking.   Just as that of religious fundamentalists--to which your attitude is indeed the perfect flip-side.   

Which is not surprising. What a surprise you do not acknowledge it."

In your blind quest to shout me down, Ron, you fail to take the elementary step of actually reading what I've typed. Atheism conveys no certainty at all. No atheist worth his or her salt will ever tell you that there's definitely no God. He simply can't be disproven, any more thsn that cosmic teapot can be disproven, and we're honest about that. On the other hand, the religiosity that you're so keen to defend is absolutely riddled with the arrogance of fake certainty. Why, you even get little kids to parrot things like "Our Father, who art in heaven..." - no sign of equivocation there! Not much room for doubt! You have it arse about face. It's religion that's replete with unsupportable, irrational certainty. We atheists tell it like it almost certainly is. Get the "almost" there, Ron? As a religious man, you probably don't. Close your eyes and join your hands.
