I can only ‘know’ as much as anyone can know anything- this is toying with words. I believe that China exists, I’ve seen evidence for it existing but I can’t KNOW for certain until I visit - it could be an elaborate scam although I wouldn’t say it was very likely.
And your church is based on?
Some people think more than others. I couldn’t possibly know how seriously you’ve considered the idea that there might not be a god. I’m not certain there isn’t, you seem certain there is.
I’m very clear in what I believe but looking at the universe in a strictly scientific way you cannot have certainties in the same way that you understand. Very, very few atheists would say that there is no god - 100%. Dawkins doesn’t.
** A-theism is simply without. Like I said, there are many things that I don’t believe in based** on evidence exactly in the same way there are many things you don’t believe in - I just require evidence, you think you’ve found it.
Would it be accurate to say that the ‘Truth’ might not be as you understand it today? God has had plenty of opportunities where I have been in a church and countless requests for me to find him and yet he remains ellusive - I guess I’m not very high up his to-do list!
What about before 4000 years ago?
Umm… I really don’t! Saying things doesn’t make them true! You’re a Pastafarian! See…
Why do you deny the Flying Spaghetti Monster?
With all due respect they don’t know me!
