So far nobody in the history of humankind has produced any proof whatsoever.
en contraire: There has been a lot of proof produced. No production, no storyline and then no cash flow. Bennie Hinn is producing evidence of god every week with his fake healing. TBN got a massive production of proof goin on. To the tune of a few nice house and airplanes later
"Do you believe in god?", is not a proper English sentence. Unless you believe that, "Do you believe in apple?", is a proper English sentence.

Psychosomatic ... and stage magic too.  But it is cultural specific.  Americans are impressed by science bull shit mostly.

What are you doing?
Are you taking any medications?
Don't do that.

Well technically none of us can be sure of unproved claims.  So agnostic, meaning "I don't know anything about the subject" really doesn't mean much.  You can't prove there isn't a deity any more than you can't prove there aren't 200" glowing unicorns walking around.  They might just not be where you are looking.  There might by Flying Spaghetti Monsters too.

So I pretty much ignore agnostics...

Even as an atheist, I can't say there isn't some deity.  Maybe one created the universe and left it to go on to other projects.  Unprovable.

What I CAN say is that there is no evidence of any deity and I will act on that until I see some proof.

You have to make a sacrifice to Satan (the true god of all atheists) and tell him your measurements. Did you even get the manual?

I get so tired of fools equating atheist to satanism.  Satanism is just another damnfool theism.

Please elaborate.
It's a fancy way of saying, "I WILL NOT BE LABELED!"

1: the people who equate the two are essentially hopeless. They made up their mind, laugh at them.
2: you gotta see the fun in the absurdity of it.

Unfalsifiable claims are bull pucky.  Scientists ignore that shit--non-scientists should too.  And I or anyone can present mountains of random circumstantial evidence enough to convict the alleged God's existence.  Pediatric cancer wards, DUI murders of innocents, wars, tsunamis, etc etc.  But really, God cannot exist if evolution exists(which it does):  you can't get there from here.  The deist God also cannot exist, it's illogical as to omniscience, omnipresence and all that alleged crapola.

It's humankind and the rest of the natural world and universe--that's it, that's more than enough to deal with.  Space?  There's nothin out there but fire and brimstone and darkness, forever.

Seriously, it's a YOOGE relief to realize this, and your logical brain works much better as a result of not being clogged up with all that illogical, fantastical, religious garbledeegook.

Oh, ok.  Well, I find it fun and emboldening and fascinating to proclaim loud and clear to believers that I am an atheist and stand back and see WTF happens.  LOL, the fireworks are amazing!  You just can't believe what people come up with. If they are Jesus, you get the Jesus shpeel, Muslim you get the Mo' shpeel, and oh, I've gotten some incredibly ridiculous Hindu shpeels re winning lottery tickets and Ganeshi(Elephant God who has pet rats) and such.


Also, it's good to "be something" too(sniffle)...

Actually, the argument that a deity makes bad things happen is not a really good arguement.  A deity could do anything it wants for any reason.  Kind of like me stepping on worms on the driveway after it rains deliberately or not even noticing they are there.

My argument against one is mostly by lack of evidence for existence or need for one.

You dont read so well, bud.  The bad things happen because there is no God.
