For me, there hasn't been sufficient reason or evidence that a god exists, so it is logical for me to be an atheist.
What would be illogical is if there is insufficient reason or evidence for a god but I was a theist anyway. And that sounds exactly like what you are saying to us. "I know you don't see any evidence for a god, but you should believe in one anyway."
LL: there hasn't been sufficient reason or evidence that a god exists,
so it is logical for me to be an atheist.
YB: Problem - you would need to show (see clarification criteria) that you can know that:
1. Sufficient reason or E for G hasn't been supplied (thus the 1st post)
2. and that you have logical reason that would bring one to that conclusion from true premises.
1 If it rains the ground will get wet
2 Rains
c.Gets wet
1; If no S or E, then logical to be an A
No S or E (Cant universally confirm this premise)
C. Logical to Be an A
So logically the conclusion can be rejected
LL:What would be illogical is if there is insufficient reason or evidence for a god but I was a theist anyway.
YB: Worse problem how would YOU know that insufficient reason or E for G was.
LL: And that sounds exactly like what you are saying to us.
"I know you don't see any evidence for a god, but you should believe in one anyway."
That is a misconception. I haven't said that.
I only asked if you had logical reason to be an A. If you suppose that to be one means you haven't any seen E for G.
then why can't I suppose you have faulty reasoning or evidence perceiving ability?
