Re: the atheist challenge - challenge met. Next question.
The proof of god's non-existance is really quite trivial. For, if god exists, he is omniscient - that is, he is all- knowing. But while such a god might well know what he does know, there is no way for him to know if there are things that he does not know. His sense of his own omniscience is a delusion. Even if he in fact is omniscient and does know everything, he cannot know this for a fact because he would never be aware of anything that he doesn't know about. Since he cannot know whether he actually is omniscient, there is at least this one item of knowledge that he cannot possess and thus he cannot be omniscient. Therefore, such a god cannot exist. QED

Re: This is uncanny.
The difference is that Rob would be taking himself completely seriously and would truly believe that he had made a final, damning argument.

Let the words speak for themselves.
Atheism: a - theism, without theism, i. e., without belief in a divine being. Rocks, clouds, and toenails are atheistic as they are amoral and asexual. And they feel no compulsion to prove their position on the matter. Agnostic: a - gnostic, without knowledge (usually, but not always, referring to direct or special knowledge of god). Rocks, etc. are also agnostic. I am, of course, ignoring Shintoism and many forms of Animism in these examples.
