Now what? Are you going to claim skepticism is a logical fallacy?
Quote:You can rationally say you dont "know" if you believe God exists or if you believe God does not exist: agnostic
That's not agnosticism. Agnosticism deals with knowledge, not belief, and not knowledge about whether one believes or not.
And belief is a binary proposition, you either believe something or you don't. If you believe it, you have belief in it. If you don't believe it, you lack belief in it. You have it or you lack it.
Quote:You can rationally say that you believe God does not exist (more commonly incorrectly phrased that you "don't believe in God") : atheist
No. If a theist is trying to sell me a god by telling me it exists, I'm simply not buying it. I'm not trying to sell him another opposite thing.
Quote:You can rationally say you believe that God exists: theist
Well, I'll contest the use of the word "rational".

And condescending. Thank you.
Quote:You no longer can "lack belief" that "God exists".: unconscious.
Nope. You haven't established that at all. You keep claiming it, but never manage to connect any dots in a way anyone else can see.
