Belief
January 10, 2010 at 3:45 pm
The dictionary definition of belief is as follows..

confidence in the truth or existence of something not immediately susceptible to rigorous proof:

Therefore it follows that if you know something to be true you don't believe it as it is a fact and not subject to opinion or conviction. Instead, you know it.

Does it then follow that God is an atheist?
