No, no, that's an agnostic.  My husband has a badge that he wears
to cons, reading "MILITANT AGNOSTIC: I DON'T KNOW AND YOU DON'T
EITHER."

The atheist says, "No, there isn't."

Ho, he says "Yes, there is," and if you persist, they'll start

All it takes to be an atheist is this: when the question about
ghod's existence is asked, the answer is 'We have no sufficient 
evidence for that."  If one wants to parse that as "I don't know,"
one could.  What's important is, does the unconvinced person act 
as if there isn't a ghod-thing or not?

Some agnostics say, not only that they don't know, but that it
isn't possible to come to a conclusion on the matter.  It is
an interesting conundrum that, a theoretically all-powerful
being, or one so much more powerful than humans that it is near
to no difference, could have created the universe and us for who
knows what reason, and totally covered its tracks, so that no
conclusive evidence is available, and faith would be the only
way to really believe in it.  But I'm getting into Oolong
Coluphid territory.

Since one can't prove a negative, proving that "there is no ghod"
is logically impossible.  Definitions of the supposed beings are
equivocal, anyway.  So "I don't know" is a perfectly cromulent response
to the question, if one has no faith.

Agreed, but for me it is more like this:
- If there is no suspicion a deed has been done, I will not look 
  for evidence about an alledged perpetrator. Why look for an answer with
  no question for it?
- Anyway no question is answered best by "godditit".         
- Does the assumption of a god`s existence make any difference to someone´s
  life?
  If not, the question is irrelevant anyway. If yes, I would consider that 
  someone biased, and in need of a god.(as Mr Keuner said)
- Since no one can define any property of said god, and cant even agree 
  with any other person about anything concerning god, "existence" sounds
  like too materialistic a word anyway for some hazy personal phantasy. 
  It is like the question:Do you believe the life i´m dreaming of exists?

Agreed, I can prove I don't have three legs and two heads, but nobody can 
prove a _universal_ negative.
Can you, for instance, prove that there are no leprechauns?
Have you looked under every rock on every planet in the universe?

Your supposed god character is supposedly everywhere, so is universal, and 
there is, therefore, no way to prove it doesn't exist.

Implication is not proof, as any law enforcement officer will tell you.

If by 'universal negative', you mean (all x)(not px), that's what the experiment 
of Bell's inequality showed: all entangled particles do not have a shared hidden 
state. Or the scientific method is invalid.

> Can you, for instance, prove that there are no leprechauns?

I have neither the need nor interest in disproving leprechauns. Since this is 
important to you, devote your own energy to the question.

> Your supposed god character is supposedly everywhere, so is universal, and

Then why assert there is no god when you acknowledge you can't prove that. Real 
world atheists I know don't say there is no god; rather the question is 
irrelevant to them. They don't have the need or interest in disproving them.

Where did I assert that there is no god, liar?
I only claim that I don't believe in any god(s) and until you provide 
evidence that you supposed god exists, there is no need for me to claim it 
doesn't.

Most real world theists I know don't say there are gods. They don't have 
the need or interest in proving them.

These morons imagine that their god is real _and_ that we say it isn't
- because they're stupid, simplistic binary thinkers who don't let
atheists and others outside their religion see it for what it actually
is - somebody else's religious belief, that is neither true nor false.

Or in disproving them.

If theists could only live and let live, and didn't try to impose
their beliefs on everybody else, there would not be the negative
reaction they lie to themselves that atheism is all about - when what
they're actually seeing is "push us and we push back".
 
And having lied to themselves about us, they believe these lies and
act on them, repeat them to us, etc.

Their religion has made them stupid.
