To fellow atheists, somewhat different question - but a question I often see from theists. The question goes : where do atheists get their basis to justify any claim they make?
I snipped part of your response to vulcan above to refer to in answering the question, because I think it demonstrates something I wanted to mention - that we'd discussed earlier.
You will literally never hear the end of answers to that question, because there's no end to potential claims and their justifications. It only takes one example, and any example will do, to show why the conversation is futile. You know your name, you can rattle off a long list of things that have convinced you that this is, in fact, your name. None of them have anything to do with a god.
-but if none of those things qualify as The Ultimate Grounding™..then, so what? It's still how you know your name. Maybe he's got something wrong, or, maybe, the thing he's asking for doesn't exist. That's his problem, not yours.
