Amarok - I am going to assume that you hold a very strong belief that the Sun exists.
I am referring to the star that our planet orbits.
For me, as an atheist, I find it rational to believe the Sun exists based upon the evidence we have for it's existence.
Let's say someone makes the claim and wholeheartedly believes that a second star exists in close proximity to our own Sun.
This person says that this second star is invisible, intangible and is the most powerful source of gravity in the entire universe.
At this time, there is no evidence to support his claim of a second star and his claim of it being the most powerful source of gravity in the universe while exhibiting no gravity whatsoever, makes the claim very difficult, if not impossible, to believe.
In which category would you put your god in ?
Is it more like our Sun, bright, obvious, and real.
Or is it more like the invisible, intangible star that has the most powerful gravitational source in the universe ?
