So when the atheist says God doesn't exist then it's true? I guess it is then.

IOW, if God can prove He doesn't exist He is not an atheist. How >can God prove anything if He doesn't exist? And that a logical contradiction, but then we can say that all these contradictions exist in harmony in God. >The fallacy of the atheistic argument is that they say if God can prove he >doesn't exist, then it follows He must be an atheist.
