'Zactly.

Strong Atheism is a hard argument (some say impossible) but there ARE 
strong or positive Atheists. And I'm one.

I simply KNOW that God(s)(esses) are of human invent.
It's obvious.

Firstly because there are so many Gods and Goddesses and Godthings 
posited...and only ONE can be true (if any is true)...so the believers 
in ANY ONE is, of course, a POSITIVE ATHEIST, save for that ONE!

Well, I just don't have that one. ;)

Secondly, the very OBVIOUS anthropomorhization that IS God makes it 
obvious that Gods are Manmade.

Third, to counter the "you can't prove a negative" argument...Of COURSE 
I can't! BUT I can be so sure as to say that "if God exists...I don't" 
and THUS the argument is moot. 

Of course there is the forth argument that some god might exist that is 
not in evidence. Well, SURE! And that god is an alien or a superior 
being "out there" or a...whatever.
There is no need to pray to it though.
Just as I don't pray to other people I don't know.
Since when is something/someone superior to me worthy of praise "just 
because"? And since when would a GOD need to impress?

It's all circular.

Religionists prefer the circle end at God.
I prefer the circle end at the individual.
