Question

Just came here from your facebook page and got a Question: How do you justify saying you KNOW that there is no God. In my Opinion it is not possible to proove a God / higher being, neither to proove he's not existing. You cannot tell if there is some old man with a beard, who sits in heaven and does not care for us humans.
I personally dont believe there is a god, but there is no way to know it, so I cannot say, "there is no God", which is basically the position of atheists.

So is there any real reason to prefer atheism to agnosticism ?

Would love to get some good answers, got no "real" atheists as Friends, so no possibility for me to discuss this in real life.

My English should be understandable, but sorry for grammatical errors and horrible spelling style :)
