God: Proofs of non-existence and existence.

[athoughtfulman]

No your original disclaimer concerned blind statements such as "it just is" or "because that's what I believe" sort of meaningless and thoughtless justifications. I don't know if you misread me there but I said "because it makes sense". This is entirely different.. my position is the result of reasoned consideration, and not blind acceptance.

If you are saying something different now then great, I'm glad I've progressed with someone. I agree, there is no discussion on certain topics for me either. I've tried to say this but others haven't got it I honestly think.

I understand that to say "it makes sense" implies that you have thought about it a lot, that is not in question. I'm concerned with the fact that like Adrian said, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. However, I think this is where our discussion will end, because we both have different ideas about what is a sufficient reason to believe in something, that is, we validate claims via different methods.
