Sure I have no problem with "One is unable to prove qualities about a sufficiently vague object." But most people go about proving negatives on a daily basis (I do not have exact change for that, I do not have any more clean razors, my hat is not on my head) and I find the notion that negative statements cannot be proven to be odious.
Many theists I have met want to say things like "I know God" and so they will not admit to their concepts being vague or ambiguous, but they will simultaneously not let you pin down any qualities that would be necessary to prove the nonexistence of their abstract notion, and so they keep their heads.
Atheists organizing sound somewhat oxymoronish, don't you think? Kinda like an anarchist party. But I suppose some feel that the religious are persecuting them so they need strength in numbers. I for one don't believe in numbers because it usually leads to hierarchies which is what the anti-religious are all about.
Ain't no evidence of this imaginary friend that watches everything we do. I mean, c'mon, wake up people. This god thingy is deader than Elvis.
Now that is absurd. How can you have a religion where the only common belief is "there is no god"?
I am sure that atheists, like anybody else, join organizations but an atheist organization or religion is just too nuts. What would they talk about?
I'm sure the 'born again' and 'I' had different thoughts in mind at the time,
obviously.

"There is no god."
I agree."
"Yup!"

Recipes for cooking children, how to ward off good spells, etc. lolBurning and destroying places of worship? Killing priests of different religions? Converting believers to atheism?
There's lots of fascinating things to discuss...
And here's where the atheists get to have their belief set highjacked by the zealous nutjobs until it is just as laughable as all the other belief sets that come to be identified only by the zealous fringe and abuses of power, money, etc. (because note, they have to be coming up with the money for bulletin boards somewhere... how much do atheists tithe anyhow?). I kind of pity what's about to happen to atheism.

It is the religions who 'have' to prove there is something to believe in, ..
I have lots to say. It's fun pointing out the faithful's fallacies in logic and astounding lack of evidence.......
It is the religions who 'have' to prove there is something to believe in, they
have never done that, and until they do, there is nothing to say.
If atheism becomes another denomination along with the religions, I will
Disbeliever? Unbeliever? Lotsa tags. hehefigure out something else to call myself, as I will opt out.

Oh Crap!! You mean Atheism is being taken over by the status quo? Now I'm going to have to find something else to not believe in.
Scott Free, that is your interpretation.
I would claim that the reality of God is apparent only to those who are willing to receive it, those who are objective about it, those who are not blinded by science
(I am playing Devil’s Advocate here, I am an Atheist myself).
And why should there be a material that does not change? I postulate God as a spiritual being who is present everywhere, but cannot be detected by the scientific means we have available at present.
I would argue that even if God is present in material form, the techniques of us mere mortals are too unsophisticated to detect that material.
Now go ahead and prove that God doesn’t’ exist.
I didn't think you were an atheist in the first place with all the pagan discussions I've seen out of you. Seems to me you'd have an easy time jumping out of the label of 'atheist'. But, then again, that's just from the oversimplistic view of trying to make someone fit a label I suppose.
I have studied and participated in a large variety of belief systems. I don't necessarily believe in any of them. That is the beauty of being a free thinker. I can change beliefs to suit the occasion. Sorry for the confusion. It may not make sense to most but it works for me.
