I do not believe there is knowledge of God, no. On the contrary though, there is something we are arguing about, and that is whether there is actually knowledge of God or not. You asserted:
Quote:There is no "knowledge of god"
This is an absolute statement, and one which I called you on. Now, if you meant "I do not believe there is knowledge of god", then we are fine, assuming that you understand that your belief that there is no knowledge of god in no way makes it so.
Quote:I didn't bring up the god-tale, it's not my job to do that, it's the claimers. This is ridiculous, you started quoting me for no reason, how could any Atheist have a problem with my original post if they dont disagree, seems you're being more anal about how I said it than anything I'm actually saying. Maybe I stated it wrongly in my analogy but I was talking about how theists tell us we deny god by using the "Not God" Answer instead of acknowledging that we dont believe it so we cant deny anything.
Again, this isn't about any "god-tales". The concept of a god is easy enough to understand, without asking which specific god it is. A god (generally speaking) is some supernatural deity. If you believe in *any* kind of supernatural deity, then you believe in *some* form of god.
Sorry, but whilst the response "which god" might be amusing and make someone think twice, it still doesn't answer the very simple question of whether one believes in the concept of god or not.
