Belief

[Oldandeasilyconfused]

I find it amazing that anyone, after giving it some honest thought, can believe that god(s) are real.

Argument from incredulity and irrelevant..

In asserting " I believe that there are no god" you have made a positive claim and attract the burden of proof. (OK, of falsification. Lots of luck with that; you'll be the first in recorded history)

Argument from incredulity / Lack of imagination

Arguments from incredulity take the form:

1. P is too incredible (or I cannot imagine how P could possibly be true); therefore P must be false.
2. It is obvious that P (or I cannot imagine how P could possibly be false) therefore P must be true.

These arguments are similar to arguments from ignorance in that they too ignore and do not properly eliminate the possibility that something can be both incredible and still be true, or appear to be obvious and yet still be false.
