first you say "I don't believe that God doesn't exist" then you say "there is no God" which is it?
Look closely. I put the verb "believe" in italics.
As Frink said, belief and knowledge are two different things. I don't believe there is no God, but then again I don't believe the Earth goes around the Sun. I know the Earth goes around the sun.
But if you know the Earth goes around the sun, you must also believe it goes around the sun.
No, I don't. I know it. Period. One excludes the other.
It is all rather empty semantics being argued here. I feel Leonardo saying he doesn't believe in anything is perfectly valid.
It is all about the number you're looking at and the particular dictionary you are using (and English being Leo's second language, this takes us to a level of semantics most Americans are incapable of thinking on, and we can throw in the language of the dictionary you are reading as well). But it is always kind of fun to hang people with semantics when you can't think of anywhere else to go.
So you are saying that you know God doesn't exist. That seems like a rather arrogant thing to say.
So what?
Ok, picture this: in your system of beliefs, I am wrong. Now, just assume, for the sake of argument, that I was right. Would I be arrogant then? Or would I be just right? Please define arrogant for me, maybe I don't fully understand what the word means.
Arrogant would mean you are over exaggerating your own abilities or self importance.
I daresay Warb is pretty arrogant for knowing that Bes doesn't exist. But then again, maybe he is merely agnostic when it comes to Bes and the other Egyptian gods.
