I admit I was misunderstanding your initial statement.
My funamental issue with your position is your proposed axiom. Specifically, you claim there are only two possitions: I know there is a God, or I do not know there is a God. Agreed. You then claim, in this axiom, that "All other positions require Belief."
I do not accept this axiom as true. On the contrary, taking the position that "I know a God exists" requires faith/belief. The only option which does not require belief is "I do not know if a God exists."
Hence, your initial assumption (axiom) is self-defeating. To accept that you know there is a God means you're believing something you cannot prove.
The fact that the formulation of the question means there will always remain a possibility that there is a God, does not necessitate that acceptance of knowing a God exists requires no belief.
"I know a God exists" requires faith/belief.
False. God would know he exists.
I agree a God would know he exists. You did not address the point. My statement was in reference to an individual, non-God entity. Ie. a human being.
I do not see how your statement addresses my claim that knowing a God exists is a belief; my counter-argument to your proposed axiom.
I agree a God would know he exists.
Then you admit that Statement #1 is true. And statement #2 is true as well. You have proven my axiom solid.
