What is more prideful? The ignorance of atheists, or the knowledge of God?

Atheists claim ignorance. We don't claim to KNOW God isn't real. We also don't claim to KNOW God IS real. We aren't convinced by the arguments put forth so far, so we do not actively believe in God.

Theists claim knowledge. They claim to know what every other person on earth doesn't: WHICH God is the "right" one.

    There are three positions-

    Theist- there is a God or Gods

    Agnostic- there may or may not be a God or Gods

    Atheist- there is no God or Gods

    Actually a-theist means some one who has not truth or believes there are no truths. Which is a far wider area then just theism.

    An alternate meaning is they have no convictions concerning theism.

    Either way Atheists have no real reason to be discussing spirituality or even religion- because they are ignorant of the rules used in developing a discussion of either and by there own admission have no real experience to base a conclusion on.

    Religion is ego and pride.

    It takes no ego to admit you don't know.

    It is pretty prideful to claim you know it all.

    The radical atheist extremists STINK. I'm sorry, but I am sick and tired of them and they need to be demoted to SECOND CLASS CITIZENS or else get out of the country if they don't like it.

    This is One Nation UNDER GOD.

    Some atheists claim to "know" god does not exist. Not all theists claim to "know" god exists.

    Some theists are agnostic and so are some atheists.

    both religions are prideful. You should believe in what you want with all of your heart.

    We also don't claim to KNOW God IS real.

    - Yes you do, or you would not be so fanatical about it.

    ......... or the sleazy, lying, self-righteous religious assholes? I'd vote for the latter.
