I am an atheist in the simplest terms. One without a belief in any god(s). The burden of proof lies with those who say there is a god. Since there is no proof, I don’t believe in any god.

In regards to a metaphysical god beyond comprehension, I take what’s known as the strong atheist position, that is, it’s impossible to prove that god exists. If a being is beyond comprehension, then it can never be defined. If it can’t be defined, then you can never prove that it exists, simply because you don’t know what you’re looking for. For argument’s sake, let’s say there is such a god. Any way that god chose to manifest itself, there could be no way to prove that it is attributed to that god. For example, let’s say that such a god decided to show itself by using a voice of some sort. This voice could be attributed to something else. Any apparation could be said to be some other type of supernatural happening. You could always make up these levels of proof, just as theists try to make up levels of disproof.

There is much more I can say about religion, but I’ll save it for later blogs.
