  And there have probably been people who think like you since the beginning, otherwise the bible wouldn't have to go out of its way to say: > The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good Psalms 14:1

  "strong" atheists are asking you to treat your lack of belief like you'd treat any other thing you don't believe in - i.e. faires, fae, ogres, trolls, Babayanka etc. I don't preface a comment on "those don't exist" by saying "well there's no evidence but..." because very obviously I don't live my life as though there's any probability they exist. "I don't know god exists" is a meaningless statement because the alternative is not binary. You don't believe 'god' exists when you do, you believe a rather specific God exists.

  > I'd love to believe in God, a superior power, benevolent aliens, re-incarnation, anything! The problem is that I just can't, no matter how much I try.
