So with respect to the proposition "God(s) exist." there are only two options. The proposition is either true, the theist stance, or it is not true, the atheist stance. The meaningful definition of atheism I have given does not force atheists to claim metaphysical knowledge; but rather asks them to own where they stand with respect to the question.
(Well, maybe there is a third option called 'I don't care' but I do not seriously believe any AF member falls into that category.)
Hm, I must have missed it, where's the nihilism in a negative stance to the god proposition? Let me check again. Nope...still not there. Third times the charm....ah.....maybe if I squint real hard?
Yes, thanks for the replies everyone, and i feel i have come to a conclusion...
Ithink what i have done here is just repackaged the "God exists out of time a space argument" but just reworded it very differently (as i am 100% NOT inserting a god into the equation)..... it's a nonsensical question.
I guess this is what happens when an atheist thinks like a theist without realizing it, as i am as far away from being an theist at this point as i could possibly be.
