(Just saving yo ass MC Wink)

Who is MC?

I remember Fred Dretski saying in lecture that claims regarding nonsensical, unreal things have no truth value. I thought it seemed reasonable to regard as true the claim that "unicorns did not trample my garden today". Even if he wouldn't allow that, then surely he would have to allow that "unicorns don't exist" is either true or it isn't, likewise for God. Otherwise, it might be reasonable to respond to the "do you believe in God" - question by answering:

"I don't know what to believe since it isn't at all clear to me what we are even talking about. Neither I nor anyone I know has ever seen one and even those who claim to believe in god(s) seem to have a hard time nailing down an adequate description. There is simply too little to go on."
