Why do you have to demonstrate it?
Quote:Absent proof that god is at a minimum more probable than not, yes no one can rationally claim to know god exists.
What do you mean by proof? Is there a rational argument or scientific evidence free-will exists? Is it irrational to believe in free-will as a result as well?
Quote:If "spiritual knowledge" had any validity, the sensors would sense the same god, yet they don't.
The same can be said about morality. If there was a such thing as morality, we would all sense the same thing, yet we don't.
Quote:Tiberius if more tolerant of fools, than I am. But I do believe theists at least think they have knowledge.
No Tiberius is not an ego quest of belittling all Theists, that's why he can rationally see he is in no rational position to be anything but agnostic to whether people have knowledge of God or don't.
