    Not at all. There is a huge difference in proving a positive (i.e. that God exists) than prooving a negative (i.e. that God is IMPOSSIBLE).

    EXAMPLE: Could Trump be a lizard alien in a skin suit as some might believe? Absolutely. Am I gnostic by stating in a matter of fact tone that he isn’t (and thus dependant on “faith” by extension of your argument? Probably not.

    Just because someone once made a wild claim about God existing, doesn’t make me require “faith” to call out he obviously made up story with absolutely zero facts to back it as such.

      Trump is a human being who physically exists on Earth.

      God is an abstract concept that is beyond human comprehension and exists outside the bounds of time and space.

      Making claims about something that you fundamentally don’t understand is a fool’s errand.
