That is untrue if God exists. Presupposing conclusions doesn't cut it.
Don't expect me to waste time on the untrue statements published about Christianity either.
We are not talking about Christianity man. I think you need to actually read what I'm saying and try to understand it. I'm not trying to confuse or trick you, I'm trying to help you expand your understanding of logic and truth, which should be the only reason to browse a Philosophy forum.
God may exist. God may not exist. These are not conclusions, these are statements of fact obtained through logical deduction. These two things are mutually exclusive. There is no possibility of both being true, neither being true and there is no middle-ground.
We as a people, regardless of what concept of God we have, can only ever have a belief. Why? Because there is no evidence of God, he demands our faith. If God did exist, and did want to give us proof of his existence, he surely would have been able to do it comprehensively and to an extent that no intelligent person could deny Him. So what can we conclude? God does not exist, or we would all have proof and be Christians. Or, perhaps God wants to judge us on FAITH. Perhaps God doesn't want belief in him to be something everyone does, as it would reduce it's value. All religions, every last one of them are entirely founded on faith alone. What we choose to use to support our faith is up to us. Some people choose philosophy and logic and reason. Others rely on authority figures and people they think are of value to guide them, or rely on their emotions or experiences.
Proverbs 3:5 says Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Now pay attention here:
If you make a bet on a football game, and you win, you didn't KNOW the team would win. The same goes for God. We can make an educated guess (and most of us do) on whether or not God exists. If we are right, we never actually knew, we just expected.
To profess that you have knowledge that God doesn't exist is not absurd or implausible, it's false: impossible. Many other statements are equally impossible, such as claiming you have knowledge of next month's lottery numbers.
I think your belief in God is a good thing that probably has a positive impact on your life overall. However, I encourage you to accept that the only way you will ever KNOW for sure is to die and see the evidence.
Organized religion has lied to us, lied to all of us. The church has changed the scripture to suit their interest and to control and manipulate the masses. They told us they knew God, they told us God spoke to them, they LIED. The priests who heal people from diseases through the power of God aren't spoken to by God. They are spoken to by their greed. They manipulate people who are spiritual in order to gain money or power. This goes for everyone from the pope to a priest of a congregation of 10 in the Central African Republic.
There are many men of God who are sincere, many who don't care for earthly possessions and only want to serve a God they wholeheartedly live and adore. However, if anyone ever professes something to you as fact, say God spoke to them or that they have absolute knowledge of Him, be cautious. They are almost always lying maliciously with then intent of manipulating you.
