I also can (and frequently do) say that. I also say that I not only don't believe that God exists but I also believe he doesn't. That doesn't mean I'm claiming to KNOW he doesn't exist.
Quote:To profess that "God exists" is not true is a knowledge statement about the proposition. So what say you? Is the proposition "God exists" true or not true, because those are the only options.
I agree. Those are the only two options (besides "I am exactly 50/50 on the matter." to just be pedantic for a hot second). I would say God doesn't exist.
Technically, I believe God almost certainly doesn't exist. God is not logically impossible (well, some versions of God aren't logically impossible at least)... but I'm still very much in the whole "God doesn't exist" camp then. There are many things I would say don't exist without me having to claim to absolutely know it doesn't exist or be absolutely 100% sure it doesn't exist.
