[quote=Anonymous][quote]Theists' "I know" becomes "I believe in the material universe and God." Atheists' "I know" becomes "I believe in the material universe and no more." [/quote]

Theists assertion is that, although there's no evidence for gods, I believe in them.  That's called "faith".  Rational folks say, "I neither believe nor disbelieve in things for which there is no evidence. In fact, I spend almost no time thinking about them; they're generally irrelevant."

[quote]But our ability to know God remains. And, of course, God is still there--in fact, He is outside of time. And He is still answering your query "Why don't you tell me you exist?" Just not the way you asked for the answer to be formulated.[/quote]

You may not believe in the Easter Bunny, but our ability to know him remains.  And of course, (of course!!) he is still there.  Why?  Because he's outside of time.  (Of course!)  And he's still answering your query "Why don't you tell me you exist?" Just not the way you asked the [answer] to be formulated.

[Disclaimer:   Here is where the theists usually accuse non-theists of being "disrespectful".  But I think that's got it exactly wrong.  I show you just as much respect as I would if we were arguing anything else non God-related.  Frankly, your argument is fallacious, regardless of how many times you make it, and shows a certain level of disrespect for the folks you argue with.] [/quote]
