Please provide proof that the rules of human reason are binding upon all of reality, and thus any gods contained within.
This is the challenge we reasonably present to holy books. Why should our chosen authority be immune from that challenge?
Again, human reason being "far more efficacious than their old books" doesn't prove that the rules of human reason are binding upon all of reality. You're making a leap from one thing to another. That leap requires proof. Or faith.
Human reason is not an authority, it's a tool. Again, the analogy fails. We use it because it works. There is no burden of proof on the atheist here. Please explain what you mean by "all of reality" and why you assume that any god is contained within it.
