so the question is: is there a distinction between the concept of the existence of God and other unfalsifiable concepts? i.e. are there alternative sources of knowledge which point to God? Hence c1 and c2.

All I have to say to that is Occam's razor.

Truthfully, as an apatheist, I do not care enough about this subject matter to continue discussing it.

KT. what they're saying is: if you take the unfalsifiable perspective, then you need to accept the flat earth perspective as well because we're not using Occam's Razor on the problem at that point. If you are, then the logical conclusion is that God is dead and we have killed him.
