You don't know what a god is, so you don't know whether you believe in it or not.
But that means you do not have active belief in god, so you lack that belief. That's implicit atheism. The same an infant is an atheist.
Just say what you mean, that you don't know what a god is.
How does telling someone that doesn't understand what god is that they lack a belief in god(which they don't understand in the first place) and is therefore an implicit atheist,work?
Isn't that like saying,
If someone doesn't understand what Theory of relativity is then they lack an active belief in it,and therefore doesn't have a belief in it?
To have a belief or a lack of belief i'd first have to analyze what Theory of relativity is saying,understand them,look at its proofs and then decide my stance according to the evidence?
How come this procedure doesn't apply for God.How come i don't have to analyze what God is,what it is saying,understand it,and then decide my stance?
Seeing how it is virtually impossible to analyze,understand etc what a God is,it just makes things more complicated than the Theory of relativity instance.
Do you believe in the existence of Leshaks?
You don't know what a leshak is. Therefore you don't believe in them. When you find out, you will either believe they exist, or continue to not believe they exist.
Unbelief is the default position.
Similarly, if you ask an infant if they believe in santa claus, you will not get an answer, because the infant does not understand the concept of santa claus. Ergo, they do not believe in santa claus.
Unbelief is passive.
Please. We're going through this for the umpteenth fucking time ._.
You don't believe in anything when you don't understand the concept of it. It is the default state.
If I wanted to convince you I'm a shnorghleblazzer, and you don't know what that is, you are not actively convinced that I'm a shnorghleblazzer. You withhold judgement with the implication of default unbelief. That is what agnostic atheism is.
Ok? ._.
