    From the GREAT MAN himself!

    Adams is interviewed in the Winter 1998-99 American Atheist magazine. An excerpt:

    Q: Mr. Adams, you have been described as a "radical Atheist". Is this accurate?

    A: Yes. I think I use the term 'radical' rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as 'atheist' some people will say, don't you mean 'agnostic'? I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god, in fact I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference), I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one...etc., etc. It's easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it's an opinion I hold seriously.
