(June 15, 2013 at 10:36 am)Tiberius Wrote: You seem to have missed the point of what Simon Moon was saying. The question you just asked was about knowledge (does God exist?). Now, an atheist may answer "no" to this question, and a theist may remark "yes", but the definitions of both atheist and theist do not require them to do so, because atheism is not "knowing there is no God", and theism is not "knowing there is a God". Both atheism and theism are defined in terms of belief.

Are there atheists that know God exists? If not, what is the value in making the distinction between knowing and believing?
