1. There is no evidence indicating the existence of a deity
2. There is no sound and valid argument necessitating the existence of a deity
3. Therefore belief in a deity is irrational

Those like arcanus who would believe in such a deity could at least improve their intellectual equanimity by believing every one of the infinite set of muturally non-contradicting things for which positive disproof is just as hard to obtain as for this deity.
