[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 1135907, member: 18225"] I used to think of myself as an agnostic, but I don't identify that way anymore. I think it's not entirely correct to classify atheism as the disbelief of deities... Around 2:00 minutes explains this quite well - thanks wkmac! Personally, I have no particular belief one way or another that there is or isn't a god. Nothing I've experienced has ever led me to the conclusion that a god exists, and I find all rationales trying to prove the existence of god lacking. I find that the simplest explanation which makes the most sense[I] to me[/I] is that there isn't a god, but if given evidence to the contrary I would be happy to revise my opinion. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence (you can't disprove a negative), and in that light, I could no more prove that there isn't a god than one could prove to me that there a god. And we're certainly not going to have our minds changed on an internet forum! It's fun to talk about though... [/QUOTE]
