How do you reconcile these two seemingly contradictory statements: "I have no belief in any god" and "I believe God is fictional"?

"I have no belief in any god" and "I believe God is fictional"?

- The first is a statement concerning a reality and the second is a statement about fiction. They are not contradictory since they are dealing with two unrelated concepts.

Man is as a god;that is part of WHY Jews (Nu. 35:30, Deut. 10-19 about 3 times) and Christians (Matt. 18:16, 2 Cor. 13:1) are to have 2 or more witnesses. I currently understands that Muslims have that principle also currently. So the statement is deficit.

You just recognise that your disingenuous playing with semantics is a rather pathetic way to prove a point!
No problem then!

Maybe I'm a bit slow, but I can't see how these two statements are "seemingly contradictory".

Myself, I have a disbelief in the existence of a deity, the word "belief" does not enter my thinking. If I were to be pedantic I could go as far as saying I have an extreme disbelief in the unsubstantiated claims of others about the existence of a deity as well, still no mention of "belief".
