Brian’s answer to, "(Atheists) Do you not believe in God, or are you waiting for evidence? (or something else)."

(Atheists) Do you not believe in God, or are you waiting for evidence? (or something else). Very serious - trying to understand.

Started off as a Christian and over the last 40 years did a lot of research of all religions and eventually realised that gods are man-made entities...then I moved to agnosticism and ultimately conclusivley atheism...there is no god except in the minds of people...thus Al'Lah, Jehovah, Zeus, Zoroaster, the millions of Hindu deities, Satan, Baal, El, Horus, Isis and many other Egyptian gods are all manifestations of man's need to believe in some supreme entity...and 'believe' is the operational word here...they don't exist in reality!
(from Wiki: Arguments against the existence of God typically include empirical, deductive, and inductive types. Conclusions reached include: "God does not exist" (strong atheism); "God almost certainly does not exist"[17] (de facto atheism); "no one knows whether God exists" (agnosticism); "God exists, but this cannot be proven or disproven" (weak theism); and "God exists and this can be proven" (strong theism). There are numerous variations on these positions.)
Take your pick!
Evidence?? Proof that something which doesn't exist, exists is a contradiction and hence impossible.

Atheists. Do you not believe that you will suffer what you must to understand? In other words. Do you really think that God is not going to disclose Himself to you at some point so you can make your decision?
