That's definitely atheism. No, the first is a negative claim and the second is a positive. The claims might be different, but the conclusion appears to be the same. If there's no conclusion, it's just contrarianism. The conclusion is that you don't believe in god. Which is distinctly different from saying that you know that there isn't one. --- He which make friends with scorpion, soon come to find out what a scorpion does - they bite people with its tail --ancient Chinese proverb <cite>Giblet_Enjoyer posted [p:905213890] in Is atheism...
