"I think bringing `` emotions `` into the question of whether God exists or not tends to cloud the issue a bit . Is n't the essence of atheism a rational enquiry which concludes that in the absence of any credible evidence , there is no reason to believe in God ? An emotional attachment to `` non-belief `` would be irrelevant ( and irrational ) ."
"This is more accurate , but let me modify it a bit . Without evidence there is no reason to conclude that there MUST be a god . A lack of evidence does not ensure that there is no god , just that we ca n't assume that there is ."
