You assume wrong, my non belief in Fairy tales, Father Christmas, Unicorns, The Bogeyman, Magic Teapots, Talking Snakes, Bigfoot, The Easter Bunny, God and The Tooth Fairy isn't influenced by modern science, it's influenced by common sense.
.Hey hey spike
I detect a feeling of being upset or annoyed. My friend please do not be rash. Comparing the belief in God to a belief in the Easter Bunny, unicorns, tooth fairy, etc, is an attempt at ridicule, it is not a sound or good argument my friend
Lets reason together my dear. This statement is a category error - the error of assigning to something a quality or action which can only properly be assigned to things of another category.
A category error was used here to give a false or misleading account of the nature of God - a fabricated story, especially one intended to deceive.
The tooth fairy is not real, therefore God is not real. Does this seem like good sense and sound judgement in practical matters my dear?
We agree that science has uncertainties.

We have discovered that your position is not influenced by science but by common sense.
What good sense or sound judgement influenced your decision to declare yourself an atheist?
And with regards to how you answer it.
How certain are you? Do you have complete trust in it?

Ok. Well that's an answer I guess. I just think that atheist haven't explored the spiritual side so I guess to me that makes the lack of belief irrational.
I haven't personally, but I know some atheists who used to be religious and at the time felt some sort of spiritual thing. From what they say about spirituality I gather it's powerful stuff, but disappears along with the religious belief.
Hi there
What proof would you accept?
Cheers
