You didn’t address the Boolean example, either. Do you actually think the following evaluates to `true`? `(god_exists == false) == (god_exists != true)`

- CharlesColeman 8y agoYes, especially when you write it like that. I get that some people really want to make a distinction, and such a distinction can exist, I just don't think it's reflected in the texts that they claimed it is, especially given their context.
- amazingman 8y agoAnd what if `god_exists` returns something other than a bool? Another way of asking this might be: what if `god_exists` is a black box with poorly understood/defined behavior? Because that’s basically the situation we’re in. Also consider: in the absence of theism, the word “atheist” wouldn’t mean anything at all.
