Atheism is a Lie

Thanks for your rebuttal Con and I do agree misconceptions are prevalent. Con states; "So yes, some may just put their belief in a category of faith, but a majority of them are convinced that they know God, and they know God exists. Correct me if this is a misconception." Where is Con's evidence for this belief? Con seems to think just because he has "seen" someone say something, that is some kind of valid evidence. If someone says "i Know God exists deep within my HEART." Is this a claim to knowledge via scientific or valid evidence? Certainly not. What kind of evidence can you hold in your "heart." Con admits unwittingly that the believer never claims to Know , at least not deep within his "mind", and not with any evidence. Philosophy teaches us there is a difference between " knowing that God exists" and "knowing of God's existence." Former being a claim for knowledge, while the latter is a claim to familiariTy. Also if con has accepted my first construct as valid and sound, and admitted that no one can actually "know" if God exists or not, it would be dishonest of her to say that the preacher or any believer, let alone a majority, is actually claiming to have VALID and TESTABLE evidence , scientific or not, that would lead to unanimously and scientifically valid belief. Ergo knowledge. To say that the believers who is making a claim of familiarity is making a claim to knowledge, is fallacious and a lie. Con is Misrepresenting the believer's views, building a strawman, and misintterpretting the believer or preacher's words. Believers do not claim to know. By definition, a believer is only someone who believes. Therefore, they cannot know. To believe that they do know , or might possibly know, is to reject my first construct, and assert that it can be known if God exists. Even if as a remote possibility. Again, atheism seems to lie about its position at every turn of logic. Con cannot provide a scale in place of reason and logic. Just becausenDawkins creates a 7 pt scale, it does not reflect any aspect of truth or reality. All the scale does is place vagueness on ideas that have always been made clear. My contention is that atheism is a lie in itself. If my contention is true, and Dawkinsnis an atheist, his 7pt scale would also be a lie. Con only makes my argument stronger as she lacks any logical argument or position and only insists that her beliefs are rational. Without any evidence, logic or science. Con says "we atheists base our beliefs on science and reason." Here con admits she has beliefs. About Reality. About God. She also claims these beliefs are valid beliefs. Ergo knowledge. (See definitions) Further. If Con lacks belief and has no belief, that is not based on evidence, then she is claiming that all her beliefs are by default - knowledge. Con claims atheists are open minded, but I have yet to meet one resdy to admit openly that they are wrong. How could they be wrong in any belief, if they only base beliefs on valid evidence? Whatever the case, by virtue of her own words, Con has officially equated her belief with knowledge. As it shows in my original constructs. She then quickly asserts atheists claim "we dont know everything" yet everything they believe, they say they also know. There is a difference between the theists claims to knowledge of familiarity and the atheidtic claim to knowledge. As mentioned before. Atheists may not be stupid or arrogant enough to claim they know everything. But they are certainly claiming to possess valid evidence for their beliefs. And by nature atheism is a belief ABOUT god and in the least, about reality. So, though Con may not want to ADMIT her beliefs are beliefs, and she would do her best to call it a "lack of" belief instead, so as to confuse the audience and decieve them into thinking a rejection of a belief and a lack of a belief are the same things. If theism is a acceptance of any God claim Atheism is the rejection of ALL God claims And Agnosticism is a lack of belief. Con will also probably argue she is somehow an agnostic because she claims she doesnt know. But that does not fit in with her beliefs about God, her requests for evidennce, and her active disbelief in all God claims. Further , most agnostics would not be caught dead calling themself an atheist. So the atheis will lie, pretty much, any way they can to justify their belief or nonbelief. In the face of their own existence, they need to believe SOMETHING about reality. God or no God. It is a belief about how this world works. They claim since their beliefs are baded on science , they KNoW HOw the universe began, life evolved, wihout God, and therefore claim that they KNOW if God exists or not. Atheism is a Lie. Con needs to show by some reason or logic...HOW her beliefs are based on valid evidence, yet she lacks knowledge on God existence. . If God's existence is unknowable, she cannot claim any valid evidence for her beliefs. The paradoxical relationship between how beliefs and knowledge works, between what Con isn claiming to believe and know is quite apparent. Either she is confused herself, or she is a liar. Looking forward to your rebuttal.
