    That’s not true at all. If “god” is defined to contain mutually exclusive qualities or assumptions then you can say, positively and with confidence, that such a god does not exist.

      Ok, but that’s not saying God doesn’t exist. That’s saying a single person’s interpretation, if taken literally, is illogical.

      Or to rephrase: that’s not “god doesn’t exist” that’s “your god doesn’t exist”.

        If I say “god doesn’t exist,” then what does “god” mean in that sentence if not “your god” or “somebody else’s god?” Is there some sort of “objective” god that I have to accept before I can voice my disbelief in it? It’s all just people’s interpretations.
