Well my answer to the question is twofold. Yes- as an idea in the mind of the believer. No in the way we could talk about a tree or a rock in our immediate view.
This is one question I know will be asked several times and in many instances is difficult to give one answer for. In order to answer it though, it would be fair enough for the person asking to define what they mean by god. It is always assumed that when people say god we know what they mean but this isn’t the case.
With that in mind, we shall attempt to answer these questions we have been asked
- How do you know for certain God is not real?

Funny thing, she rarely ever responds to any of my questions anywhere either on her blog or elsewhere.
