re: #292 PT Barnum

Except that you are denying that belief and faith are valid ways of knowing.

I would think that this is obviously true.re: #312 Varek Raith

“Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.”

re: #316 Slumbering Behemoth

Which dovetails nicely with:

“That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence”.

These two, right here, I think perfectly describe the basis of atheism. It’s not a belief. It’s not a denial. It’s just a dismissal that it is a valid hypothesis to contemplate.
