An axiom IS an unprovable assumption

Finally. Thank you.

You too, Philo.

No problem. An axiom is a presuppostion. Which is an assumption. One that just is "self-evidently true". "I exist" is an axiom. "God exists" is a presupposition. To me, it's a lot more self-evident that I exist, than that God does. Arguing on this basis is philosophical flatulence. And it stinks.
