Inspired by the Atheism Thread

I've been reading the atheism thread with interest and one thing that occurs to me is that on multiple occasions, self confessed theists have told me what atheism is, and what I (or others like me) believe.

So - I'd like to post what I feel about atheism, god, and godlessness.

If I believe anything, I believe in Occam's Razor.

Put simply, I believe that in any situation, the simplest answer is the most reasonable in most cases.

I find that the testable observations of science make more sense to me than the untestable explanations presented by theists.

As soon as a theist can offer me an explanation that holds as much water as those of science, I'll accept that I was wrong about God.

The converse does not in my explanation seem to be true very often (that a theist will become an atheist when sufficient science is explained to them in simple terms).

Please do not post here telling me what atheists believe, or what theists believe, there's another thread for that, please tell me what you feel about your own belief (or lack thereof).

Thanks.
