There is a huge difference.
Firstly, Atheists "know" because well, you know, they just KNOW.
Whereas people of faith garner their faith from the words of the prophets and witnesses to miracles. Now you may say you dont buy that, but its evidence of whatever value you may put into it. But their beliefs are based upon the word of God as witnessed by enough people who found it credible in the past that billions of people today, and in the interim believed it.
So there is Know and Know in that regard. One is saying I KNOW what you are thinking because I think I can read minds. The other is I know what you said because someone heard you say it and told me. Get it?
Secondly - and this is more key - Faith is not Knowing. The entire concept of Faith is believing in something you can NOT know. Thats why its FAITH. I dont have FAITH in the law of gravity, its documented (at least on the macro scale more or less but dont quibble you know what I mean). No one can KNOW one way or the other. Faithful simply choose to believe.
The Atheists will tell you they KNOW fer sure there is no God, and even if they admit they DONT know they will mock you for thinking their might be, because deep down they KNOW there isnt one.
Because if they truly admitted they didnt know, they would just be agnostics and would STFU because saying "I dont know" is pretty dull stuff.
your trolling is dumb and bad
