“Boy,
I really do hate these guys. You’ve got a discussion going, talking
about why you’re an atheist, or what atheism should mean to the
community, or some such topic that is dealing with our ideas and
society, and some smug $@!#* comes along and announces that ‘Atheism
means you lack a belief in gods. Nothing more. Quit trying to add
meaning to the term.’ As if atheism can only be some platonic ideal
floating in virtual space with no connections to anything else; as if
atheists are people who have attained a Zen-like ideal, their minds a
void, containing nothing but atheism, which itself is nothing.
Dumbasses.”

couldn't agree more. The most precious part of atheists is this. They
start with, “I don’t believe anything unless it’s proven by the
scientific method of knowing.” But when science based knowledge
strikes at the very heart of their world-view? “Well, it’s
just science. Science is quite capable of being wrong.” That's
why they spend years coming up with an acceptable definition of the
term, “atheist.” With just the right wording an atheist can say,
“You see, if I'm simply a “non believer in God” as opposed to
“believing God doesn't exist,” then I don't need evidence
to uphold my “non belief.”” These word games are consistently
played in atheist-world to maintain equilibrium in an unbalanced
belief system.
And while these same atheists say you can't prove a negative (Creator God doesn't exist) they certainly believe this negative that can't be proven.
