Quote by: Isherwood  If you're saying that weak atheism refuses to accept the god premise without logical reason and scientific evidence, and in the absence of those defaults to the position that gods do not exist, what's the difference between that and what's commonly called strong atheism? |
Because strong atheists actively deny the existence of a god, and whilst a lack of evidence may be part of the reason, they go into much more complicated arguments, like the omnipotence paradox: the concept of an omnipotent God is logically contradictory, from considering a question like: "Can God create a rock so big that He Himself could not lift it?", those kinds of things.
weak atheism is a lot simpler than that, and doesn't go into heavy philosophy like strong atheism does.
