The scientific method says that you can never prove anything to be a 100% true. Things are either likely or unlikely to be true. In my opinion a real atheist is a person who thinks the existence of any higher power is unlikely. Tomorrow if I started hearing voices or hallucinating, I would probably think it’s more likely that I was having a psychotic break rather than seeing god. Agnostics think that the existence of gods is probable. Your opinion on the matter has to be dubious for you to be an atheist.
Do gods exist?
Agnostic: I don’t know?
Atheist: I don’t know, but I think it’s unlikely.
If the latter is how you answer that question, then you need to come out. Pretending to be a dummy isn’t doing anyone any good.
I just want to say this: if there really was a god them things like LMFAO would not happen. A real god would not let two creepy fugly nerds have a number one song called “Sexy And I Know It.” Before I wasn’t sure if god existed so I just assumed he didn’t, but because of LMFAO I am pretty sure there is no god. I am a true atheist because of Party Rock. Disgusting!
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Marianne Williamson, but I took out the parts about god. I don’t think I need “god” to self-actualize.
