The
DIALECTIC
of
Theisms
versus
‘a-Theisms’.
GLOBAL STRATEGIC HYPOTHESES.
Dear Reader,
A Theist says: “I absolutely know that God absolutely
exists.”
An Atheist says: “I absolutely know that God absolutely
DOES NOT exist.”
An aGnostic says,
instead:
“I am not a Theist and also not an Atheist.”
“I do not know, and can not prove that something fitting the prevailing
definition of “God” actually exists.”
“I do not know, and can not prove that nothing fitting the prevailing
definition of “God” actually exists.”
“It would therefore be DISHONEST for me to assert that I know either that “God”
exists, or that “God” does not
exist.”
“What I can HONESTLY assert is this:
I do not know
whether or not “God”
exists or does not
exist.”
It seems to me that many
who claim to know
that their “God” exists are deliberately lying, seeking the false fame, POWER and MONEY that such claims can
bring; that the true, twin “gods” that these claimants “worship” are really POWER and MONEY. Often such claimants also seem to be
interested in sexually exploiting their followers, via the false THEOCRATIC POWER that they may gain when they falsely claim to know their “God”.
It seems to me that many who claim
to know
that no “God” or “gods”
exist are also lying;
falsely
claiming that they possess absolute
proof of such claimed “knowledge”.
A person who adheres to a theistic
religion solely on the basis of faith; of belief – without claiming to possess any proof of the
existence of their God – but, instead, on the basis of tradition, upbringing, conviction
via inspiration from religious stories and writings, etc., can be, it seems to
me, an honest
person, as long as they do not
attempt or support the coercive
conversion of non-believers,
or the denial of political and human rights to non-believers.
