Once a rational individual understands the absurdity of believing in the existence of something that cannot be proven to exist past the magical stages of childhood, it becomes easy to understand, through a the process of employing logic, how silly it is to believe in a deity.
you know how the composer loves to lecture about 'God of the Gap, and special pleading'? well this a philosophical fallacy category mistake. sorry, but someone had to tell you.

Oh, really?

Quote:God of the gaps is a type of theological perspective in which gaps in scientific knowledge are taken to be evidence or proof of God's existence. The term was invented by Christian theologians not to discredit theism but rather to point out the fallacy of relying on teleological arguments for God's existence.[1]

What's a "philosophical fallacy category mistake"?

Quote:Special pleading (also known as stacking the deck, ignoring the counterevidence, slanting, and one-sided assessment[1]) is a form of spurious argument where a position in a dispute introduces favourable details or excludes unfavourable details by alleging a need to apply additional considerations without proper criticism of these considerations. Essentially, this involves someone attempting to cite something as an exception to a generally accepted rule, principle, etc. without justifying the exception.[2]
