“What exactly do you mean?”

A null statement is not susceptible to logical proof or disproof.

Stating something as fact that is unascertainable is a waste of time: “The Bible says it’s true and the Bible is the word of God, so it must be true.” Or “God does not exist. If He existed, we would know He exists.”
It’s something like `question-begging’ or a circular argument.
As Al or Spinoza might put it, you go with what you know, not what you believe or feel to be true, even if you do risk (as some believe) being boiled in excrement for eternity.
