You mean this God you cannot prove exists?
I did not say there was a God. You are simply making thing up and then acting upon your delusions as if they were real.
Religion Belief Faith
This isn't about Religion, or God for that matter. You think this post is about proving the existence of God, and that is not the case. The issue at hand here is whether you have a functioning mind and abide by logic, and your immediate retreat to Nihilism and Strawman arguments shows that you have failed this test.
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.
