Your ideas about afterlife, God, soul are completely equivalent things to fairy, lepricons and jins in terms of how these concept came to be, what widespread psychological weaknesses of humans they happen to exploit to remain in popular culture, and how non-existant are the evidence and support for their reality.

There is nothing that can be known is the sense of it being the received truth from above collective human capacity for rigorous analysis of accessible evidence. But one could make a probability assessment of the likelihood of something being true in light of carefully evaluated and validated lines of evidence. This is the maximum extend of any real "knowing".

To not know in this rigorous sense and still claim to know is the height of self deception.

So I don't know in the self-deceptive sense of "knowing" you use that afterlife, God, soul does not exist. But I know in the rigorous sense of evidence that reasons to believe in the reality of afterlife, God, soul is so insignificant that it would intellectually criminal to act as if there are significant likelihood of their reality for that possibility to be acted upon.

So put down your Doztoevsky, and pick up a study of scientific thinking. It won't make you feel profound in a self delusional way, but it will make what you say much more likely to be true.

You put jins, lepricons and God in the same boat again?
Scientific thinking haven't come closer one inch regarding question of God, afterlife, soul.

Which is exactly what one would expect if these things didn't exist.

You asked earlier about my belief's verses my knowledge:

I do not believe God exists, nor an afterlife, nor a soul.

I cannot know these things 100% for certain but I am sure enough to bet my afterlife, or lack of one, on it.

Of course - we keep referring to God and I assume you mean the Christian one. You do realize that if there is a God but its not your God you will be rotting in hell besides me.

Judging by the number of variations of Churches - each one claiming to be the one and only - there is a decent chance you are worshipping the right God but in the wrong way and still end up in Hell with me.
