Couldn't be a more false statement. Never have said this in my entire life, and 95% of atheists do not share this view. Anybody who considers themselves an iota of being scientifically minded can't possibly exclude the possibility of a deity. There is just absolutely no evidence whatsoever to substantiate it currently; therefore, I can say I am thoroughly unconvinced of a deity, and vehemently argue against one. Any qualms you have with me on this view you also have with some of the greatest minds of history (whose shoulders I am grateful to stand on).

Why can't you just accept the fact that science will never prove or disprove a God and hate the religious right for being what they are: poor dumb hicks? Then you wouldnt have to hate them for being ignorant and unwavering when you are ignorant and unwavering in your beliefs (we all are - this is human). You don't know there isn't a god Blonde. We will probably never know.

I have never said I "know", chief. This isn't about "knowing" whether there is a god, as by very definition it is impossible to disprove the concept. But in dealing with probabilities, it is better to continue to try and educate people. I admit my harshness in the past is unbecoming (of which you seem to be taking from an older version of me, as being critical does not mean being harsh), and I am working on viewing and treating most of humanity (not as dumb hicks, rather) as dumb, lumbering, emotional beasts.. Sure, they could be your best friend, but you have to understand that they probably are very prone to emotional outbreaks and must be treated with care. But every once in a while, even a friendly beast lashes out, and in your own human emotional outrage, you have to rap the fuck out of the beasts nose.

So I suggest one of 2 things:
Continue to be atheist and hate stupid people for being stupid and making poor arguments. But don't hate them for believing in something.
Or
Don't believe there can't be a god, but hate those who do believe.

I don't hate them? I just have no intellectual respect for them.

It seems a contradiction to me to ardently believe there is no possible god while logically finding fault in those who do believe in a god.

Once again, have never said the concept was impossible. Come again.
