If you believe in ANY higher power, then BY YOUR OWN DEFINITION, you are not an atheist.
The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.
And if Heaven and Hell have to exist in tandem, you should go talk to some Jewish people, because they only believe in one.
More or less my point is that unless you claim to know everything, you can't say there's DEFINITELY no god. Now, if you wanna say you don't believe in Christianity, Jesus, and whathaveyou, that's a different story. And we can argue about that all day long, with much better results.
And aside from that, just because YOU haven't seen, heard, or experienced any physical evidence of a god doesn't mean other people haven't. Consider the tooth fairy, if you want to use that example. We all know that's not true, and yet you HAVE experienced evidence that it is. So why is the reverse not true? It seems like a leap of logic to say that because you haven't seen any evidence of something that in the whole wide universe it doesn't exist.
I'm getting bored with reading the same arguments over and over. Can we start a thread about whether or not Heaven exists? Because I'd like to hear some thoughts on that....what it is, what it takes to get there, if it exists at all, you know.
