Finally! I had my Doubts about him on his first post. Trolls always think they are so cute, Like a drunk comedian.  :axe: So far we've only had one that made any sense at all, and she may have been cute with a big nose.  :liar:

Aaah, peace.. not the fairytale silly kind, more like the glow from some good drugs kind of peace.

Funny, normal trolls are easy to figure out. Religious trolls though, thats another kind of fish altogether, I mean they are trolling, but doing so in some deluded sense of self righteousness, so they both know they are trolling, but same time believe it is the work of there lawd to do so.

Now, what presuppositions are there for atheism?
Only one.
It might be possible that the universe can exist without a god.

I hate the word 'presupposition'. Atheists, as far as the definition holds, take nothing for granted - not even a god existing or not. It's simply a position of unbelief; nothing presupposed, nothing "before the fact".

Presuppose a god doesn't exist; then, it changes nothing about the position of an atheist - s/he still does lack a belief in a god.

I was uncomfortable with the OP, but partly because it seemed like an odd or irrelevant question.  "Presupposition" is what I would call an "awkward" word.  How is a presupposition different from just a plain supposition?  Suppositions by nature are generally the pre stage one is in before starting a rational process of thought.  It would be like "pre-getting ready" or "pre-before beginning"
