Sure frank , we can discuss it, but it probably won’t take long- and I think it’s more productive to get at your guess that came towards the end.
I consider two propositions.
One being that you do not “do belief”, the other being your strong claim and constant reassertion of x.
If the second claim is true, which is to say a genuine position that you hold, then you are “doing belief”....-and strongly. If the first claim is true, which is to say an accurate comment on what you do or don’t do...then obviously you cannot believe in the second claim.
Now, you’ll notice I called it x, above? This is a courtesy, you don’t have to bicker with me over whether or not you believe the things you assert as facts, I don’t care what you call x, I want to know why you x that particular thing. I don’t have any interest in making you prove anything.
Why do you x that no one can know whether or not gods exist? What is the explanation for that position? What basis for making that assertion, rational or otherwise?
