Why do you not believe in God?

[Whateverist]

What your not understanding is that a lot of Theists take their faith in God to be similar to that of faith in free-will or faith in morality.

Both of these don't really have strong arguments for analytically wise, but most humans will believe that it's logical to believe in free-will and morality and in fact illogical to disbelieve in either of these.

I think he is stating, why can't belief in God be rationally justified intuitively in the same way we believe in free-will or morality intuitively. Even if there are arguments for free-will or morality, the thing is, humans believe in before coming across these arguments, and are rational to do so (at least most people believe this).

I would say for something like free-will and morality, the onus is really on the disbelievers to justify not believing in it.

A lot of theists feel the same is true of God. I'm not saying that is the case for me, I don't think in general Atheists are being dishonest to themselves but I do believe they can know God exists, if they listen closely to their heart, in the same way those denying morality, I believe can know morality is not a delusion, by closely listening to their heart.

This is well said. I think you've really been clarifying your thinking and message here.

I get exactly what you are saying and I think it is reasonable for you to defend your position in this way. I'm not persuaded because belief in gods doesn't feel like as necessary a component of human experience as either free will or morality. That isn't anything I feel the need to accommodate in an adequate account of human experience.

I don't think you can take this argument on the road however. I don't think it will persuade anyone who doesn't already believe that God is a real component of his or her experience. So while you aren't likely to win any agnostics or atheists over to your point of view, you can at least hold your head up high and own what you believe. That's pretty important.
