Christian Liberals & Progressive People of Faith

An atheist no more “believes” that a god does not exist, than they “believe” that the sky is not pink with orange and puce polka dots. The directly observable sky right now is blue. Should the directly observable sky ever actually turn pink with orange and puce polka dots, then an atheist would reevaluate and start examining how the sky could turn such a pattern despite it never having done so in recorded history, and against all scientific knowledge of how the sky appears to us as blue.

Same thing applies to gods. There has never been a single observable piece of evidence of any gods’ existence. Should there ever be one, such as an alleged young goddess arriving before a crowd and yelling, “Behold, I have stolen sacred knowledge from my father, which I bestow unto you, my people!” and suddenly everyone there has skills and knowledge previously unknown to any human, then atheists would get right on figuring that one out, too.
