An Open Question for All Atheists.

I’m taking a page out of the play-book on another blog that’s led to some fascinating discussions.  I thought it might be interesting to turn the tables so to speak and see if an age old dilemma can be resolved in a different way.

Most dictionaries define athiesm as a positive denial of the existence of God.

However my experience has been that atheist’s often establish their beliefs by pointing out the flaws in the alternatives.  My question is more in regards to independently establishing those ideas vs. concluding them on the basis that the alternative can’t be true.

I realize I’m asking a lot – and yes I know you can’t prove a negative – but are there positive reasons for your non-belief?  If so what are they?
