Was it me?
you have no evidence means you have zero quantity of evidence.
words relate in subtle ways, ignorance hammer.

"I have a 100% level of confidence that I do not know if any gods exist or not."
That's not an answer.
Calling both belief and disbelief in gods a blind guess implies that there's nothing to sway you either way... there's no evidence one way or the other.
You are just like the religionists...making a blind guess that no gods exist and refusing to acknowledge that you are. That is the way it is with just about every debating atheist. You guys heap scorn and contempt on the religionists...and yet you do exactly what they do...the thing that seem to upset you so much about them.Technically, none of us KNOW that Santa Clause doesn't exist, so would you call it a blind guess to say "There is no Santa Clause" and a blind guess to say "There IS a Santa Clause" or would you weigh the evidence and say that one side is more likely than the other?
So would you call it a blind guess to say "There is no Santa Clause" and a blind guess to say "There IS a Santa Clause"It most assuredly is...and is an honest one at that. I do not know if any gods exist or not.
THERE IS NO UNAMBIGUOUS EVIDENCE IN EITHER DIRECTION. NONE WHATSOEVER. GET THAT THROUGH YOUR HEAD.

Grow up.
No, I would not,So would you call it a blind guess to say "There is no Santa Clause" and a blind guess to say "There IS a Santa Clause"
Why?No, I would not,
Because I do not have a child's mind like yours, mostly. But also because there IS enough unambiguous evidence that Santa Claus does not exist in REALITY.Why?
I have evidence that gods don't exist. It's very similar to the evidence that Santa doesn't exist:Because I do not have a child's mind like yours, mostly. But also because there IS enough unambiguous evidence that Santa Claus does not exist in REALITY.
Witness testimony and historical data. Jesus of Nazareth is one of the most well attested people of the first century.Why believe that Jesus resurrection wasn't also hyperbole or a metaphor?
So?? There is always an immaterial abstract reality you are never going to see, smell, or touch. The laws of mathematics, the laws of logic, the mathematical constants of nature, π, e are never going to be touched or smelled by you.I have evidence that gods don't exist. It's very similar to the evidence that Santa doesn't exist:
- I've never seen Santa and I've never seen a god
- Nobody I know has seen Santa nor seen a god
- There's no authentic photos of Santa or authentic photos of a god
- I've never spoken to Santa nor a god.
Are you completely one hundred percent certain that a lawful and mathematically rational universe was not caused by an external rational agency?The difference between Santa and a god can be easily explained as God of the Gaps.
We know where the Christmas morning gifts came from and who them put there. We don't know how the universe got here and, as man has done for as long as he's existed, that gap in scientific knowledge is filled by a god.
There's no good basis for believing in gods, it's just what man has always done in response to ignorance.
You seem to be an expert on ignorance, Zen. Too bad, that.I have evidence that gods don't exist. It's very similar to the evidence that Santa doesn't exist:
- I've never seen Santa and I've never seen a god
- Nobody I know has seen Santa nor seen a god
- There's no authentic photos of Santa or authentic photos of a god

says you, dumbass.It most assuredly is...and is an honest one at that. I do not know if any gods exist or not.

Grow up.
You made this comment previously when I brought up believing in Santa Clause: "Because I do not have a child's mind like yours..."You seem to be an expert on ignorance, Zen. Too bad, that.
As I have told you at least a dozen times already...I TO NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH YOU NOT BELIEVING IN GODS.
I ALSO DO NOT "BELIEVE" IN ANY GODS.,
My problem with you is that YOU DO "BELIEVE" THERE ARE NO GODS.
And, Zen, there is NO UNAMBIGUOUS evidence that there are no gods.
CAN YOU FINALLY GRASP THAT IMPORTANT ELEMENT?
all the masonic theocratic Satan worshippers are getting their souls stretched anally these days.You made this comment previously when I brought up believing in Santa Clause: "Because I do not have a child's mind like yours..."
It's because I don't have a child's mind that I don't believe in gods when the evidence FOR them is so poor. As a child, I believed in all kinds of extraordinary things: Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, Santa Clause, etc. As an adult, my default is to not believe - Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and saying NOT believing in gods is a "blind guess" when the evidence FOR gods is so poor, meaning you might as well just flip a coin, doesn't make logical sense unless you have a child's mind.
Why would atheists believe in Satan?all the masonic theocratic Satan worshippers are getting their souls stretched anally these days.
because satan's greatest trick is convincing the world he didn't exist.Why would atheists believe in Satan?
You are a mental cripple, Zen.You made this comment previously when I brought up believing in Santa Clause: "Because I do not have a child's mind like yours..."

something has convinced him.You are a mental cripple, Zen.
AS I HAVE SAID DOZENS OF TIMES NOW...AND REPEATED IN MY LAST POST...WE ARE NOT DISCUSSING THE FACT THAT YOU DO NOT "BELIEVE" ANY GODS EXIST.
I ALSO DO NOT "BELIEVE" ANY GODS EXIST.
BUT YOU "BELIEVE" THERE ARE NO GODS.
AND THAT "BELIEF" IS NOTHING MORE THAN A BLIND GUESS.
I, ON THE OTHER HAND, DO NOT "BELIEVE" THERE ARE NO GODS...
...AND I ALSO DO NOT "BELIEVE" THERE ARE NO GODS.
NOT SURE WHAT IT TAKES TO FINALLY GET THAT THROUGH YOU SKULL, BUT I WILL KEEP DRILLING.
Odd comment given that every Christian is likely aware of Satan.because satan's greatest trick is convincing the world he didn't exist.
metaphorically.
of course in practical terms for me, this means the greatest immorality is to convince people morality is relative.
Yes, we are also aware of Satin's Democrat minions.Odd comment given that every Christian is likely aware of Satan.
I am a proud advocate for satin. My wife has a couple of things she tells me are satin...and I love them.Yes, we are also aware of Satin's Democrat minions.
