<p>Quick question for everyone who calls themself an atheist.</p>
<p>How can so vehemently deny the existence of God, when one has no proof that it does not exist?</p>
<p>Doesn't it take the same faith to deny God, as it takes to proclaim existence of God?</p>
<p>I wholly agree. That's perhaps the single largest reason for my faith- because there isn't any proof to substantiate that there is no God.</p>
<p>By saying you're an atheist you reject the possibility of the supernatural (something that contradicts reality). The concept of a God contradicts reality therefore God must not and can not exist. There are no contradictions in reality - only bad premises.</p>
<p>Any assertions of God are arbitrary by default and leave the onus of proof on those propagating the claim. If I said there were flying pink unicorns out of my window, you would demand proof or you wouldn't believe me. If someone says that God exists it's up to him to prove it. The default position is atheism not faith.</p>
<p>If you are of a particular religious creed let me posit this question - why do you believe in your God and reject all others?</p>
<p>Hindu. Went through a two or three year phase (age 13-15) where I really lost all conviction in religion. Why should I believe? What proof? Then...I just thought about who, why and what I am. How I came to be and renewed the strength in my belief of Hinduism.</p>
<p>The default position is not atheism nor faith, but agnosticism. </p>
<p>It's hard enough to prove the existence of God, but harder still to prove that he does not exist.</p>
<p>I wouldn't say that it's harder; I think both take a certain degree of faith</p>
