Quote from TraderZones:
To my knowledge, we have never discovered a tribe of people or uncovered a major civilization that clearly did NOT have deities. it is human nature. (And no animals have ever been proven to display truly religious behavior).
Declaring that one is an atheist where one disbelieves yet cannot disprove God is no better than believing in God yet cannot prove God
It is just a self-deception that one is intellectually superior to "believers", when in reality, the atheist still has no clue where everything (or he/she) came from or is going. Or why they are here, or much of anything else.
Quote from Rearden Metal:
Right, that's the entire point!
Ever met an atheist who claimed otherwise? I haven't.

Quote from TraderZones:
For practical purposes, yes. I see both atheists and believers argue over things like evolution and cosmology, even thuogh few of them personally have much knowledge of those fields.
The problem is that there are some "atheists" and some "believers" who become self-righteous, even though they generally do not have a clue.
They will get a "I know more than you" or "you are blind" attitude, even though both of them are mortal, very temporary, know almost nothing, have no concept of the expanse of the universe or time, etc. etc.
A little humility on both sides would help![]()

You're SO FULL OF SHIT! Who claims "non-believers" to be superior?
BTW... It's not possible to prove something does not exist.
