There is no God for starters...
Same with your angels, demons, witches, shamans, bodhisattvas and all that other BS. You don't exist,
Get over your concept of souls, eternal life, eternal punishment and eternity itself.
We are the walking dead. Yet, so many act as if the will live forever.
You make a lot of bold claims. you got some proof of these claims, or you just basing all this on your feelings?

Considering the declaration of god existing is based purely off of religious peoples' feelers and hunches, he doesn't need any proof by default to go against the grain and make a declaration of otherwise. If the OP needs proof to say nawp, then the religious need double it to say yep.
BTW OP, it could have been worded a tad less acidic, but I do completely agree with you

When you make a positive claim, it requires the proof.
You can not believe in deities...say you dont believe in deities, and say there is no evidence to support, etc...but once you claim something as a positive (in this case, the claim that matter of factly there is no deities), then that requires proof.
where did this information come from that for sure proved no deities?
Thats how it works..people who claim are the ones needing to show the proof.
gnostic atheists are just as intolerable as gnostic theists.
Why care that society is sick? This implies that there is a "healthy" way for society to be, something worth reforming itself into. Why does that even matter to you?
"That you believe anything - anything at all - is worth expending effort on, much less expressing disdain for "what humanity has
accomplished" and a belief that society is sick (implicitly suggesting it can and more importantly should be made "well,") constitutes a
form of faith. "
"Faith is a part of human nature. It is inescapable, short of laying down, and waiting for death to come"
" Even the staunchest atheist, if they "love" anyone or anything, and feel - even for a fleeting moment - that this means anything at all to them, is engaging in a form of faith."
"As such, I gave in and chose to believe"
"what do I have to lose?"
""Well at least I'm closer to the actual truth than you are, and willing to face it." Congratulations."
"All of this having been said... I respect your opinion and bear you no ill for it."

Works both ways there, bud. When one makes a positive claim there IS a deity, the onus is on them to prove as much, too.
