What is it that makes you certain that God does not exist?
He never said that he was certain that God doesn't exist...You sure like to parse words don't you? I asked him the question, not you. I am quite certain that he is able to answer the question without your assistance if he chooses to answer. He said he did not believe in God. When one does not believe in God, that usually means that they don't believe He exists. If he means something else then let him answer the question.
Here's the catch; you were wondering why he was certain that God didn't exist, where-as Thagypsy did not mention that he was "certain" he did not exist. You are going by the assumption that he was certain that God did not exist, and because of this, you're the one at fault here.
No, you are incorrect. He stated that he does not believe in God. I never stated that he said that he was certain that God did not exist. I simply asked him a follow-up question to ask him if he was certain that God does not exist, probing for the evidence he based his disbelief on. That is perfectly acceptable.
"What is it that makes you certain" is a statement which you used to not only put words in his mouth but also put him into a corner, which was not necessary. If you want to use a better statement in the future that won't get you attacked again, you should use "What is it that makes you believe that God does not exist?", which is a far more appropriate question for the situation at hand.
You may have meant that all along, but you already posted the original question and the damage has been done. I myself would like to see what Thagypsy has to say in return, if anything at all.
