My official return to atheism...

[nephariuz]

For a while there I was telling people I was an agnostic. This was out of a desire to avoid arguments at parties, and a desire to avoid people thinking I was trying to convert them as they would convert me. No more

This reminds me of the conversation in Contact, where Jodi Foster's character asks Matthew McConaughey's character to prove that God exist. He then turns it around on her, and asks her if she loved her father. When she says yes, he asks her to prove it.

Of course I don't think people who don't believe in God are "wrong" - my girl, for example, are one of those people. For those who do, however, asking for proof is just like my example, where you ask for proof that you love somebody. Some things you can "know" but not prove.
