Chimera', do you know what I find ironic and slightly annoying? Well, it's that you unceasingly accuse others of "missing" your "point(s)", yet, you don't f%cking seem to "get" anyone elses points.
I'll capitalize on just a few statements for now:
You: Anyway, stand by my point. The author of this blog does not know that there is no god.[bold added]
Let's review: We know that objects and/or beings that have attributes assigned to them that contradict, or by their very concept, have attributes that contradict, cannot exist. A few examples of some of these beings and objects are "married bachelors" and "square circles", respectively.
Do you follow so far?
The author is primarily focusing on definitions of "God" where human beings come along and assign attributes..i.e..personality traits, personal capabilities, etc., that CONTRADICT. He covers this extensively. In other words, if "God" is claimed to be both circular and square, we know no such "God" can exist. 'Get it?
Now, as for an invisible, conscious, supreme being that is not self-refuting, you are right, no one can say such a being is disproven with certainty. However, we certainly can say that such a being, or "God", does remain UNproven. Do you see the difference between the two?...disproven, and unproven?
In other words, you can stand by your point all you want---in the end, said "point" amounts to non-sequitur.
You: Do you yourself think you can KNOW there is no god.
Again, the question is meaningless----you would first have to define which "god" you are refering to.
You: Or do describe [Atheism] that which you choose to believe. Which better describes how YOU feel?
The latter best describes my thoughts, however, "Atheism" is not a "belief"; it is lack of belief. Projecting what you think "Atheism" means will not work in this case. Insisting that the lack of belief is "a belief" is redundant, unnecessary, and is fallacious reasoning.
