- it is YOU who are presupposing God is imaginary. Straight off the gun you beg the question.

It's fallacious to presuppose things exist who's existence is not demonstrable. This is basic to logical arguments. The burden is on the one making the positive claim.

Quote:Not once did I state God exists. None of my claims or queries needs God. In fact my entire question is how life can have objective purpose without God.

That has to be on of the most disingenuous statements I've seen here in a long time, and that's saying something.

Why the hell did I take you off ignore?

Quote:Religious Views: theist

This may come as news to you, but THIS is a claim that god exists.
