How can you say something doesn't exist when the denial already implies its existence

Re: How can you say something doesn't exist when the denial already implies its exist

Is this thread about Obama and Islamic Terrorism?
 
Re: How can you say something doesn't exist when the denial already implies its exist

Does that make sense?

When you deny something you aren't implying it exists. You are implying that the concept of said thing exists. Which is very different. When I am talking about say a god, and saying I don't think it exists, it only shows that the concept of that god exists, not that the god itself actually exists.

And we know this because we can come up with two different things that can not exist together and deny both of them. Or something that can't possibly exist. I can deny a square circle, and we already know it can't exist.

So there we go. This argument stems from the misunderstanding that you can discuss the concept of a thing with out their being an actual entity behind it.
