This is a funny site. Especially when a jester and a pseudo-philosopher actually agree. An atheist is a person who denies the existence of God. An atheist claims that that there is NO God. If this is not your view then you are NOT an athiest. This position, however, is indefensible and is frankly arrogant. Virtually, the only way anyone can prove no God exists is to be a God themselves. A person would have to be omnipresent and omniscient to have enough information to know that no deity exists. Ironically, these are the very attributes, as far as we k now, that a God would indeed posses. Therefore, it is quite plausible that no finite being can prove that God does not exist because God may very well exist beyond one's comprehension or experience. Many alleged atheists are actually agnostics, ignostics, or antitheists.
