Get it now?
Your logic is flawless.It is by no means flawed.
Try this:
1. Theism gave birth to Theists.
2. Theism is wrong.
3. Theists do not exist.
Bear with me,it is the same as:
1. A woman gave birth to a child in 1999.
2. I travel back to time in 1998 and kill the woman.
3. The child doesn't exist.
Also,I don't mean it in the literal sense when i say "exist" Cato.
I didn't mean that if theism is wrong the theists living around us would simply dissappear.(I apologize for my english.)
What i meant was that theists wouldn't really be theists if theism didn't exist.They'd be something else but definitely not theists.
1. Theism gave birth to Theists.- No, theism is just a label we put on people who believe in gods, its not an entity that started birthing people.
2. Theism is wrong.- Have you reviewed all versions of gods and disproven every single one?
3. Theists do not exist.- Yes people who believe in god exist
1. A woman gave birth to a child in 1999.
2. I travel back to time in 1998 and kill the woman.- This is not real life, it's the plot from terminator.
3. The child doesn't exist.
