Are you saying that denying God is to deny truth (and 'moral truth', etc) because God is truth?
Absolutely not. That would be a circular argument and an informal fallacy.
What I was speaking about was rather the epistemic structure of the presupposition of atheism (the presupposition that there is no God) as compared to the presupposition of orthodox Christian monotheism (that God exists) or in any case, the presupposition of omnimax transcendental monotheism.
So I am not dealing, in that paragraph, with whether or not God exists, or what the truth is, but simply on the epistemic foundation for truth in the two different worldviews.
If you put that part somewhere, sorry, but I couldn't find it. I don't know how you can talk about the truth of God before you've addressed my question of whether you believe there's any actual evidence for his existence or not, or if you just 'take it on faith', it seems. Sorry if you did answer that part.
You seem to have answered my question for me in response to Kyu though! Seems you believe there is evidence in metaphysics! In which case my second question would be: What evidence; and how is it evidence?
