Is the universal statement "God exists" universally true or false?

The way I see it God either exists or he doesn't exist. So the correct answer is either 'true' or 'false'. There is no other option.

Oh gosh. You've STARTED a thread with one of your ripcord questions! 😕

I'll take that as a false. 🙂

I take it you have no interest in answering the question.

When the curtain occasionally flaps open and I get a whiff of him taking the piss with his intermittently wheeled-out lumbering oaf routine and his generic conversation-suffocating ripcord questions, I do think the ear-boxing's days are numbered. 🙂

So Christianty is only true for you and doesn't apply to non believers?

PS: Your failure to answer this question is an answer in itself. 😛

Lets just go for: "Does God exist?".

You don't need the word universal. It doesn't add anything here.

Ok fair enough, so what is your answer?

You should get some sleep. Maybe the question will make more sense to you when you are refreshed.

The statement 'God exists' is, by standard meaning, false. It is not a 'universal statement', just a statement. It is objectively false, not subjectively false. 'Universally true or false' is poor English.

Ok so how do you know that it is objectively false?

Because that is where the evidence points. And don't be asking endless questions about it because I don't care to explain it all to you when I know that you won't listen anyway. Just know that I have examined the evidence sufficiently well to have justifiable knowledge that God does not exist. Disputing my claim will not change whether or not it is objectively false, nor will it change the fact that 'universal' should never have appeared in your OP.
