There are some who think they know, and there are some who don't care/don't know/don't believe.

I am one of those who know.

 

[Journer]

who says they have to believe either of those things? if you looked it up, you would see atheist usually (but should be the only meaning, but people are too dumb to look up the literal history meaning) means a LACK of a beleif in god(s)....NOT belief there is no god...

I realize there are both, but I guess I'm curious which one is more common, if there's any way of knowing. If not, I'm curious what most people assume when they hear someone is an atheist.

I looked it up budd-o, but I'm talking about the term as most people use it. Your statement only supports my belief that most people don't use it in that way.

well, i have no explanation for how the universe came to be, but i certainly don't think any type of deity that we humans have come up with provides a suitable explanation for it.

Generally i would think most of them/us "know" there is no god. As that is how we separate agnostics an atheist in modern thinking.

Ofcourse, i don't "know" there is no god. I know there is no god.

This thread reminds me of that scene in Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter where 3 dozen atheists pile out of a Jeep Wrangler and Jesus busts some kung fu moves on their unbelieving asses.

Huh... that looks kind of funny. Worth watching or no?

It's not something that can be "known" one way or the other; there are no ways to reason it out a priori. Anyone who says otherwise is deluding themselves. That's why I tend to have more respect for the intellectual credentials of agnostics than atheists, though less respect for their courage

That's what I appended "or claims to know" to that option.

I do not believe that there is a "God"; however, given some proof or at least some evidence, I would likely accept its existence with good grace. However, I cannot see any reason to "worship" such a thing.

It's pretty original and had me gasping for breath, on the other hand I've met people that don't make it past the first 15 minutes. Canadian humor, low budget, doesn't take itself seriously, yet it's got a charm that you wouldn't expect from such a schlocky sounding flick. I'd give it a shot if you can get ahold of it.
