    Because they WANT it to be true.

    Confirmation bias at work.

    What is the extraordinary claim, by the way?

    If that claim is that no religion is real, then:

    People who do follow a religion don't have much evidence either, and the evidence you do have can be contradicted in many ways. Atheists can ask you the same question.

    Your claim that there is a bigger being is more "extraordinary" than the Atheists' claims that there are none.

    For the same reason that you make opposing extraordinary claims with zero evidence. I refuse to give credence to the fairy tale claims of the Jesus freaks.

    you have that backwords. Atheists have all the evidence. It is ignorant to act like christians (i'm assuming you are christian but the same goes for all religions) have any solid evidence at all. I'm a christian and i'm close to god but god's existence can't be proven, you have to discover it for yourself. Open your eyes, science proves many christian beliefs wrong and nothing has been proven in the reverse. Stop being so ignorant and learn that atheists are the ones who's beliefs (or lack of) make sense and attempting to argue with it isn't gonna change anything

    No, no, cupcake. I have plenty of evidence that I don't believe in any gods.

    I'm sure you'll be satisfied with that, since that's the only claim I'm making. Not believing your baseless flights of fancy does not qualify as making a claim.

    Glad I could clear that up for you, sugarplum. Kbai!!

    My claim is with zero evidence to the contrary.

    Atheism means you don't believe in god.

    This doesn't mean you claim there is no god, it could just be that you're not sure if there is, or that you don't care.

    Most atheists have better things to do that think about the subject, until someone brings it up.

    Source(s): I'm an agnostic athiest.

    You got any evidence of that god? It seems to have been very quiet for the last 2000 years or so. Why is it hiding?

    And why do you insist there is some invisible being that is personally serving all of us? He puts the universe on hold, to take care of someone who is praying.

  • 9 years ago

    I have 100% evidence that there is no evidence of a deity.

    The difference between Truth and Opinions is that Truth is invisible. Facts can be proven because they are indeed fact0rs.
