Atheism: new religion?

And do you have an opinion on people who believe in a god or in gods?
Yes, my opinion is that they believe in something that does not exist.

 

Do you think it's ridiculous to believe in a divinity?
Yes, to an extent.

 

Me, I find believing in the spaghetti monster ridiculous and I wouldn't hesitate to say that I know that the monster doesn't exist, I have no doubts about its non existence.
In everyday conversation neither would I, but in the context of the discussion we are currently having which is concerned with what can and cannot be known I would not say 'I know that his great noodlyness does not exist' because I would be wrong.

I don't think a single person on earth believes in that monster.

Neither do I (although I wouldn't be too surprised if some nut job out there actually did)

 

And neither is there a single person on earth who knows that it does not exist.

I completely understand your position.
tbh I doubt that.

I know it doesn't exist.
No, you don't. Clearly you think you know, but you don't actually know. It is not knowable.

Why is that?
Because of your posts on this forum indicate to me that you don't really understand my position at all. Particularly your OP on this thread and post 373 of this thread, but also from the rest that I have seen.
