^^ I can only sum up few answers brod.

I simply can't fathom any supernaturals (plural) being ever been existed. NO matter how you think logically... it just don't exist. Period.

If you ask me why? You just have to discover it for yourself.

The reason why I believe in God is because I thought about it logically. But I am not saying that athiest are not thinking logically. The level of the capability of the people to think logically is dependent on his level of education and experience. Perhaps for my level of education and experience, I can say I believe in God, but I don't know what will happen if new info comes that will make me reconsider my belief.

I guess, it's your personal preference. Logically speaking that is.

Black is the absence of color; but why do we call black a color?

And who is calling black a color? People. And unfortunately, it is a common misconception...

You should accept that truth is not a consensus. It doesnt follow that if the majority thinks so, then it is true.

The point of being an atheist is not denying the existence of God. They dont believe in God in the first place!

If we should discuss about beliefs - especially religion - please refrain making statements with in-built presuppositions. It will make the discussion a merry-go-round.

It is the agnostics who neither deny nor believe the existence of God. The athiest simply doesn't believe in the existence of God.

I agree.

First, if we read books about Man's subjective and objective mind, then we can see the so-called paranormals in a more feasible light.

And secondly, and Reality is part of my subject-matter, since I am a magician.

Disbelief that a deity exist does not tantamount to believing a deity does not exist.

Since there is no verifiable evidence for a God's existence, it is only rational not to assume that there is one. An atheist is simply someone who does not assume that there exist a deity hence he consequently possesses no theistic beliefs.

This does not necessarily mean that an atheist automatically believes that God does not exist. He is not making any claims. He simply doesn't know and/or he simply doesn't assume that there is one.

Sinyalan is an athiest. He simply don't believe.

Akosabni is an agnostic. He can't deny or believe the existence of God. He is at the cross road.

Einstein the smart guy is a thiest. He believes in God, but not necessarily the same God as the Christians, the Hindus, etc.
