agnostics are lazy atheists
There is a difference between admitting you cannot make a decision based on the evidence, and making a decision that something does not exist.
Also Spore, I whole-heartedly agree with what you said. Don't bone up something others have just because you disagree with it.
[/quote]If there's no evidence that something exists, there's no reason to say that it might.
You can't really lump all religions together. There are the ones that pretty much just tell you to be a basically good person, to treat everyone equally, and treat others how you'd want to be treated, and that's fine.
But then there are the ones that fly planes into buildings, kill abortion providers, discriminate on arbitrary and uncontrollable things, want the government to reflect their religion and only their religion, and tell everyone to spend their life savings and kill their children because the world is going to end tomorrow, and that's not fine. Most atheists, I'd bet, only really have a problem with the latter, but an attack on one aspect of religion is seen as an attack on all of them.

First part- that there be a logical fallacy. Lack of proof is not proof of the negative. So that there's some flawed logic on your part. In other words, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence (also known as the ignorance fallacy). Also I'd quite like to see some conclusive proof that there is no god/higher power/deity, because I am quite sure there is none.
Also you need to learn what extremism is, and why it's bad to lump extremism in with the norm. Because right now you look really, really dumb.
