Nobody is number 1 or 7.

You're number 2.

"I do not question the existence of God. I know He exists"

Where does it say I am required to prove to you He exists on this scale?

You can't know he exists if he isn't proven. You can believe he exists, though.

Believing =/= knowing

I'm not one for platitudes.

If we can criticise how people act, we can criticise the propositions that motivate them to act in the first instance.

it just seems rather uncouth to me, is all. i think, as long as we go into these sorts of arguments throwing our personal biases aside, we can establish a substantive and effective dialogue. i know that its difficult to present an objective viewpoint, all things considered, but it may seem patronizing to theists when anti-theists posit their arguments from a "more enlightened" position, and i think that fundamentally damages the dialogue and doesnt really catalyze progression

though, i have a skewed perspective because of my apathetic feelings towards the metaphysical in general, so take that as you will

nobody cares about what he believes. But believe =/= know

see, this is the sort of rhetoric that damages relationships and prevents these discussions from having any sort of value

though, this is the flood, so im probably expecting too much
