I love the way you continually shoot yourself in the foot. So what you are saying is that since god is all knowing according to your bible only he can assert his non-existence. Circular reasoning at it's best keep it up I need a little cheering up today.
Circular reasoning??? You must be kidding. The "by God himself" was not really part of the argument, i.e., it was not necessary for my argument to be sufficiently made. I could have said other things. How about: Strong atheism, a position that could only be held with any certainty by an all knowing being, which you are not, CP. How is that? Less circular? Or how about simply: Strong atheism, a position that could only be held with any certainty by an all knowing being. (of course the implication is still there that you, CP, are not all knowing) No matter how you say it it does not become less irrational and nonsensical to me.

Don't know...but your question is moot since we have the Bible.
