Re: The existence of God

Quote:
Sorry you'll need to clarify that statement, How or why would an atheist use that argument to support atheism??? It only supports agnosticism...
Gnosticism = I know
Agnosticism = I don't know

Theism = I believe
Atheism = I don't believe

Using the Plato definitions of knowledge and belief you can "not know" something but "believe it" or "not know" something and "disbelief it".

Of course that then raises the question of when you can say you know, but that's another discussion.
