God exists.
None of the words in this pair are true.

I'm debating what is called the liars paradox.

"If (1) is true, then (1) is false. On the other hand, if (1) is false, then it is true to say (1) is false; but, because the Liar Sentence is saying precisely that (namely that it is false), (1) is true. So (1) is true if and only if it is false. Since (1) is one or the other, it is both."

Well, there's the proof.
