The anti-theist lives as if this were God's world, with abstract norms, regularities, standards, etc; but pouts that "he just cannot know" whether the God on whom he is utterly dependent exists or not. Nowhere to go; it's just baffling that someone would choose beliefs that *if true* (which they're fortunately not) would *undermine the possibility* of logic, science, and ethics. And it's baffling that someone would so choose, all the while living as if the world were a world of meaning, standards, consciousness, and value -- rather than of matter clunking chemically against impersonal matter.
