But you say that not being convinced of somethings existence is not a good enough reason to NOT believe in it.
That position means that you must believe any premise no matter how silly or contradictory to any other belief you may hold or be a total hypocrite.
Can someone please explain that sentence to me, it appears to be complete gibberish.

"I find no arguments for evidence presented so far sufficient to sway me from my belief that the idea of god does not meet my standard of evidence for being a real thing and sway me from my opinion"
To show that it is something more than just an assertion. And when I ask for help how to support that reason they repeat what the assertion varying the words. Except for Mr. A.
What can I say that I already haven't, my logical reason for being an atheist is that I do not believe there is a god that is based on.
A: God is apparently supernatural and nothing supernatural has ever been proven to exist.
B: God attributes are ill defined often contradictory.
C: All the things attributed to god when investigated properly have all turned out to have natural causes or at the very least possible natural causes.
D: The idea of god belongs to a time when people thought that what they kinda reckoned was fact and needed no investigation, so can be lumped into the same category as pixies, fairies and unicorns.
E: Belief is not a choice. I did not choose to not believe in god, I just never have and I have never seen a reason to start.
Is that enough or should I go on?
