    Did I say halfway point? I think I specifically said something more resembling the tiny domains of delta that come into play as you endlessly approach the speed of light but never reach it. One can endlessly approach Atheism, but until you can somehow use logic to prove a negative, in the end, you are the one who is trafficking in false knowledge. If you were so sure - if you were as sure as I am that no deities exist - you wouldn’t be wasting your time in this way, and particularly not resorting to deliberate mischaracterizations of what I said.

      Atheism is about belief not about knowledge. You can identify as an Agnostic Atheist. Someone who doesn’t believe in a god but knows it can’t be demonstrated one way or another. I for example do that. You are mixing up the assertion of knowledge with the assertion of belief.

        I identify as James from Arnes (Not James Arness, I have no gun).

        I have a number of other “identities” that are applied to me due to my particular set of circumstances, but I’m James.
