That's what I was going to say, but thought there might be some sarcasm in there. h:

i'm sure they would.

it amuses me though that anyone who has lived for only a microscopic amount of time, thinks they have the answer to a question that humanity has asked for millennia, "is there a god?"

if that doesn't take extreme arrogance, i don't know what does.

Knowing Reno, I doubt it.

Atheist is such a strong term these days. I avoid labelling myself in that way because of that.

But then again, answering it yes with your train of thought would be extremely arrogant as well.

I know I don't speak for everyone when saying this, I don't know there isn't a god, I just don't think I've found the answer with what has been presented to me, and at this point in my life, I'm leaning towards the non-existence of any deity.

humanity also thought that the earth was flat and center of the solar system for millenia. is it arrogant to say that the earth is round and it rotates around the sun?

i think that it's the vast advancement in undertanding of natural laws that allow us to believe differently than what people believed hundreds or thousands of years ago.
