Again, I have never said there is no supreme being. I don't know of many atheists who would make such a bold statement. We don't know. To not explore other options and accept them as equally plausible is ignorant. Science and evidence (not fear and superstition) are the keys to figuring it all out.

You are not listening to what I'm saying at all, and you're just hearing whatever you want to here. Not surprising though, you clearly don't even understand the definition of atheism. No atheist would admit to the possibility of a singular supreme being. Atheism is not the disbelief in the Christian God, or whatever other god you want to sub in him for him. It is the disbelief altogether in a singular theistic god at all.
But hey, people can't stand hearing that their OPINIONS are NOT FACT. I said atheism is becoming much like a religion in the way they PREACH their BELIEFS.
You fall back onto science which is always the atheist go to, but really what has science proven regarding existence? It has proven zero. It has given us some THEORIES, of which people have based more BELIEFS. Really we have absolutely squat for evidence either way. Lack of evidence is not evidence in itself, so neither atheism nor theistic religions have any
facts to go on here. You say not exploring facts is ignorant, yet atheists refuse to accept that a God exists, or even in the possibility that he does. This is where the preachy atheist drive, and the "My beliefs are right, your beliefs are wrong" starts kicking in, and atheists become no better than say Christians or Muslims. Case in poit, someone like yourself who waves the atheist flag, yet isn't even an actual atheist.
Do I think these religions are wrong? Yes. Do I think that atheism is instantly the answer because I disagree with religious teachings? No. It really seems to me these days that both sides of the argument are playing the same stupid foolish game trying to be the one who is right and recruit more followers for their cause. Thus having atheistic beliefs, finds itself parallel to having theistic beliefs in the stupid way the believers respent their ideas.
You're both a pain in the fucking ass to listen to after a while.
