Before I attempt to answer, I would like to know where are you coming from?

Do you BELIEVE that God does not exist, or do you KNOW that God not exist?

See the issue?
The logic you posted in the OP, is something that you want to apply to others but not onto yourself.

My answer is "Good on you. In a free, democratic society anyone has the entitlement to express the view you just expressed".

What is your answer about the existence of God. Are you playing juvenile games or do you have a position on the question?

I am not so sure. Yeah, The post come off as clearly juvenile, That is self evident at this point, but the point is valid none the less.

That really what I am challenging really hard with atheist. "adolsentent thinking". Executive functioning and how it affects forming a beliefs.

It is ok to have beliefs. especially when they are formed logically, discussed, and other beliefs are respected that have the same base process in forming them. It not ok to limit people (with in reason) to a specific set of (god) especially since the definitions I see don't.

An example is "life started on earth" and "life started on the planet". They seem contradictory. And they both can't be right. To some people that is.

Others have the ability to see, based on the information we have, that both are/may be correct and neither should decide it for anybody. And still fewer still see that they are actually the same claim.
