Atheists Don't Exist

It is not a claim. It is a label given to people who do not believe theistic claims.

Of course it's a label, a name. You're right there. But it's a label or name given to one who makes a claim, or if you will a counterclaim. And it's largely self-given, a declaration of a certain position or attitude related to the existence of God.

At any rate, this thread is really not about atheism so much as it is about Internet Skepticism, as I said in my post and as it says in the OP.

Like all your threads, it is about something that only exists in your fevered imagination. Have you always liked playing make believe and imagining you are slaying imaginary dragons?

Apparently not.

Not by the standards of Internet skepticism they don't.

At the very least there is no reason to believe that atheists exist.
(This to match the more tempered skeptical claim.)

Internet skeptics demand proof of God's existence.
Internet skeptics jeer at mystery presented as evidence.
Internet skeptics reject personal testimony out of hand.

(I use the word "prove" throughout in the loose sense popularized by Internet skeptics of course.)

So let us turn the tables on the Internet Skeptic.

Let's demand a proof of the existence of atheists.

Let us reject personal testimony as evidence.

(But let's leave the jeering to the Internet Skeptic, yes?)

The purpose and point of this thread is to show the Internet Skeptic the folly of his ways.

(Drum roll please)

because by the standards of the Internet Skeptic

Rumors of the existence of atheism have been greatly exaggerated.
