Strong Atheism and what it REALLY means to be an atheist

RE: Strong Atheism and what it REALLY means to be an atheist

Greetings, tackattack. This is a simple implication of the definition of God as a necessary being (i.e. that it is necessarily true that God exists) and a widely accepted result of modal logic (namely, that if it is possible that it is necessarily true God exists, then it is is necessarily true that God exists). Which means that it is either necessarily true that God exists or impossible that God exists. To deny this, you either have to take a non-traditional definition of God as being a non-necessary being, or reject a particular axiom of modal logic (namely S5).
