Systematically Dismantling Atheism

[Jenny A]

No it doesn't. I don't have a belief that "God" doesn't exist, I lack the belief that it [i]does

And that is like saying "I don't have a belief that the spaghetti monster doesn’t exist, I lack belief that it does". Its a linguistically redundant tautology designed to obfuscate what you actually believe

If you don't believe Santa exists, you must believe Santa does not exist

If you don't believe your team will lose the championship, you must believe your team will win the championship

If you don't believe the moon is made of cheese, you must believe the moon is not made of cheese

In a true dichotomy, if you reject one option, you have no choice but to accept the other. And God either, A exists, or B he does not exist, if you don’t believe A you must believe B or you violate the law of non contradiction. Just like you can't reject your window being closed, unless you accept your window is open. In my many years of debating, I have found its only the atheist has that has trouble understanding this elementary concept of semantics that everyone else clearly understands

One more time for the slow of thinking:

A coin has two sides: head and tails. Prove one, and the other is excluded. I'm here in Oregon in my studio. I put the coin on my desk. You are wherever you are. But you can't see the coin.

What side of the coin is up? If you believe either heads or tails, you are an idiot. The only rational answer is I don't know.

So, if there is no evidence of god, and god cannot be disproven, I don't know is the rational answer.
