Atheism is a Lie

My opponent con doesnt realize most debates are about definitions. How we define the world that is. A lack of belief is not the same as a disbelief. Anyone can tell you dictionaries do not give absolute definitions. They only provide references for us, about the word in question. So to discover what something truly means, one must rely on his own reasoning as well. I suppose one could reason that "disbelief" and a "lack of belief" is the same thing. Which is why my opponent prefers the term "lack" rather than "dis". The key difference is that one is a simple lack, while the other is an outright rejection of a claim. If I dislike someone, do I lack fondness of him? Or do I outright dislike him? If I disprove something, then do i lack proof or did prove the opposite was true? Logically, one can see, disbelief is not a mere lack of belief, as my opponent would have you believe. As my opponent correctly notes, agnosticism is the dogma that the existence of God cannot be known. However, my opponent obfuscates the truth when assuming an atheist can also be agnostic. As mentioned before, if atheism is a rejection of any theistic claim, atheism claims to it can KNOW if god exists or not. Atheism is a lie. And it makes atheists liars. Atheists will oftrn change, distort, and obfuscate the meaning of words. In order to decieve their audience. The ideology of atheism does not hold deciet in and of itself, but neither is it an ideology in those terms to begin with. When an atheist practices atheism, their intent mostly seems to be deciet. (To pretend to KNoW something that they dont, and decieve the other into thinking the atheist knows more than he does. Deciet.) whether or not the atheist is AWARE of his own intentions is another debate, and Con cannot rationally say the falsehood he constantly and consistently presents (such as his false definition of atheism) , is unintentional. Even if Con were unaware his falsehoods are false, Con must always be aware of that he KNOWs to be true and what he knows to be false. Atheism isnt a lie because they are false about the proposition of God's existence. Atheism is a lie because it purports to know something it does not. It presupposes God's non-existence as a REASON for it's agnostic grounds. Atheism says "i dont (or lack a) believe(belief) God exists, because there is no evidence, and no reason to believe God exists. " correct? Then the atheist assumes to know that if a God existed...there would be evidence. The atheist assumes that he knows what evidence for God should look like or should be. And also claims to know that if he encounterrd it, he would be able to recognize the evidence. Thus, the atheist is claiming that he knows if God exists or not, because if God did exist, he would have evidence for it, and he would know it. Simple logic. Id like to hear Con's rebuttal to my simple logic above. And explain how he is assuming agnosis as position while also claiming to know if God exists or not. Also, if anyone is stupid enough to use an ad hominem on a debate forum...THAT individual needs to get docked on not only conduct...but should also render his arguments "utterly" useless, as they are without content , reason or logic. We can do so, because making logical fallacies in a debate, in form of an ad hominem, is an obviously an intentional deception of the audience. Is it not deceit? Is it not intentional? Unless, he also wants to claim that it wasnt his intention to persuade the audience by making petty personal attacks on his opponents intellect , as opposed to being logical Atheism is a lie. And my opponent is all the demonstration I need.
