Comments on: Tract #5: How Can You Be Certain There’s No God? http://www.iamanatheist.com/blog Discussions of religion and ethics from an atheist perspective Wed, 19 Jun 2013 00:44:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: ideclare http://www.iamanatheist.com/blog/tracts/tract-5-how-can-you-be-certain-there%e2%80%99s-no-god/comment-page-1/#comment-2650 ideclare Thu, 02 Jun 2011 04:38:12 +0000 http://www.iamanatheist.com/blog/?page_id=1073#comment-2650 The dictionary you indicated defines atheist as “one who believes that there is no deity.” Moral atheists believe there is no deity, therefore they are atheists.

The same dictionary says that an agnostic thinks that the existence of god is unknown and probably unknowable. Personally, I think that it would be possible for a deity to convince me that it existed, so I am not an agnostic. Also, I am just as sure that God doesn’t exist as I am sure that reality does exist — although I admit that there is a chance I am wrong, the odds appear to be so slim that they might as well not exist.

Therefore, he wasn’r actually ‘athiest’ to begin with – true?
