But seeing as how being an atheist means you are "100% sure there is no higher form of consciousness, no ETs, UFOs, angels, demons, Gods, Goddesses, living earth..etc" then yes, that means you are not intelligent because any of the things i just listed COULD exist. Of course we cant prove if there is or isn't, but to say "theres no proof of them" doesn't mean shit because things are being proven and disproven every day at an alarming rate.
this thread sucks. same with any atheist.
Thats not what i understand atheist to mean at all. And i would believe in any of those things given suficient proof. Im not making any bets in this crazy world

These are ludicrous generalizations that only the feeble-minded would fall for. If you have used your higher thinking capacity to come to the conclusion that you believe in nothing, then you STILL believe in something, because in such a case nothing is something.
In some cases the absence of the object is still the object, this is one of those cases.
For example, 0 is the absence of a number, but it is still a number.
I think that was a simple enough explanation.

This all started from the argument of whether the belief in nothing is a belief at all I said no If you can't understand that simplicity I don't know how to explain any further
This is a perfect example. Even though you are saying something, you are in reality, saying nothing. A fugazi of a conversational tidbit. Works on the lesser educated, but that ain't me babe.
Please just tip your hat already. A belief in nothing is still a belief in something. It's an abstract concept that I am starting to notice not all people have the ability to understand.
I've tried to explain it in the simplest of terms. I don't know how much more simple I can get to explain it to you. Should I make you some flash cards?

Pretty good, finished off a beer. I just got off work a couple of hours ago. Listening to Coast to Coast.
At work earlier I scored a buttload of free liquor. That was a plus on an otherwise shitty night.
I personally stay away from dope, its taken out too many of my friends. Party safe. For what it's worth.

so in other words im right. Also, you don't even now what atheism is.
Atheism is not believing in a God and believing humans are the top of the line as far as intelligence and that the world/life is an accident.
edit:
"atheism is specifically the position that there are no deities."
so umm i pretty much hit the nail on the head
perhaps you should look atheism up in the dictionary because after your first point your definition is incorrect.

I did look it up...and what I quoted is a direct quote

Well if there are no deities, wouldn't that imply that nothing is above the mind of a human?
