No one here can say as a fact that there is no god, if you can then PROVE it, saying "my word is fact" doesn't hold up in any discussion.
It's not fucking rocket science!

If you've ever seen the really good Bill Maher documentary Religulous that's the exact argument he makes. A quote from his ending monologue...
"And anyone who tells you they know, they just know what happens when you die, I promise you, you don?t. How could I be so sure? Because I don?t know, and you do not possess mental powers that I do not. The only appropriate attitude for man to have about the big questions is not the arrogant certitude that is the hallmark of religion, but doubt. Doubt is humble, and that?s what man needs to be, considering that human history is a litany of getting shit dead wrong."
