Why I'm not an Atheist and believe in what I believe.

I'm a little confused by what you meant here. Perhaps you can clarify.

Quote:Basically if a god exists it's a fact of reality.

And if we have knowledge of him, it's based on reality. This the point I am making.

If Ultimate Greatness exists, it seems all this spiritual knowledge I'm talking about is not only possible but logical to assume would exist with his existence.

For example, if there was a conclusive philosophical argument to prove God in 10 years...and you know for certain this was a true argument and every philosopher and logician agreed upon the argument. I don't think it would be rational to believe that God was not knowable until that argument came a long. I think it's more rational to believe God made his knowledge properly basic in the soul the same as morality, were he to exist.

As I stated earlier:

To assert God exists and has given us knowledge of himself, so I made right decision would be circular reasoning. To assert God doesn't exist or that he exists but hasn't given knowledge of himself, so I made wrong decision would be circular reasoning.

It rather just comes to honestly asking yourself if it's genuine knowledge. And here I respect either Atheist decision that we don't know or Theists decision that we do know.

I myself believe I do know.

Well I think it's a fact, but it seems impolite in a discussion forum in a debate to state things as facts, when the other side is debating it.

You see to me this is a fallacy. Their can be a relationship between God and the soul or mind or conscious that establishes this knowledge. It's possible.

The question should be, "Is there one?" Not "how can there be one".
