219. Certainly its insane to claim to KNOW there is no God, but
IMO, atheists still BELIEVE there is no God. And for myself, nothing short of God him/herself coming down to earth and revealing that he/she exists will ever make me believe. So while I of course cannot disprove God's existence, I refuse to acknowledge any significant likelihood of his existence.

I go to sleep every night secure in my belief that if I should die before I wake, I will simply cease to exist. I will not go to heaven, I will not go to hell, I will not reincarnate. I will not pass go, I will not collect $200. I will cease, I will become what I was before I was born: nothing.

And while I am certainly not telling you what you should call yourself based on your beliefs, in my lexicon anyone who is willing to acknowledge any significant chance of God's existence is an agnostic. :)
