Well, if you can't detect god in any objective sense then that's kind of the end of the idea of rationally believing in one.
"Cannot meet the burden of proof," is not the same thing as "does not need to meet the burden of proof," and I'm really very perplexed at how many religious people want to secretly substitute the former with the latter.
i agree if you cant detect God then its not rational to believe in God . im not sure what you mean however by religious people wanting to secretly substitute the former with the latter ( cannot / does not need to ) can you clarify that idea ?
