My comment is in response to the assertion made by theists, that at least one god exists.
I do not have to assert anything to defend my position. The 1000's of years of lack of demonstrable evidence, reasoned argument and valid and sound logic is all I need.
If you have anything that passes the above criteria for the god you claim exists, open a new thread and present it.
Actually you do have to assert something to defend your position. You have to assert that all the arguments for God that have ever been provided fail to amount to either demonstrable evidence, reasoned argument, or valid and sound logic.
Isn't that what you're saying?
Yes, but they are not baseless assertions.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
