Is Lack of Belief the Best You Can Do?

[LadyForCamus]

I don't think you understood what I meant, or I wasn't clear. What you just said above is exactly what I was trying to say.

But, pushing forward; I have a comment/question: I think one reason many atheists stop before gnostic atheism is because declaring knowledge that an unfalsifiable claim is false, is logically fallacious.

From your article:


So, if it can be argued that the existence of God is in fact falsifiable, might atheists feel more comfortable placing themselves in the "gnostic" category? What does everyone think?

Chad, what do you think? Is the author's reasoning satisfactory to consider God falsifiable?

"God exists" is not falsifiable in the sense of finding a tangible disqualifying object or physical circumstance but it is to the extent that properties attributed to God can be shown to be incoherent.

So it is, but it's not? Either way, theists have an endless number of ad hoc loop holes to get them around the logically incoherent properties of God, and they all pretty much amount to: "that is not an accurate description of God's properties according to my interpretation/knowledge of him." In other words, "you have God all wrong!"
