I'll chalk the above up to a language barrier for generosity. I didn't agree with you on any inference. I detailed exactly why your proposition could not support the inference you make, or the conclusion derived from it.
It's a non sequitur - logically invalid. That's why it's not a good reason. Are you using the term good reason in some other way?*
"We exist, therefore the requirements of our existence are met" - follows
"We exist, therefore moongod"....simply does not.
Yes, ofc we have dna...so what? Explain how this is something other than one more example of empty headed wondering which does not and cannot follow? Similarly, I could call a cat a god and that wouldn't make it one. No one doubts (well.....lol) trhat we have dna...no one doubts that many god botherers call many things gods, no one doubts that the requirements of our existence are not met. What alot of people doubt - and specifically here on this board...is that you actually possess a good reason to believe in a god, and even more so, that you possess a good reason that someone else should believe in a god.
So hop hop.

If you are using good reason™ some other way, I can think of plenty of good reasons™ that you should believe in god..even if they still wouldn't be good reasons™ for me to believe in god. Right down to "I think I saw one" - ...fine, at some level if you're convinced that you've had a personal experience with the divine - well..that's the reason that most of us believe in anything. Unfortunately for that contention..I have never seen one, and I don't believe in things just because some nutball says he saw a ghost. The good reasons™ you're offering are even less persuasive than that....think about that for a moment, lol.
Which handily applies to Big Mo..huh? Assume he existed, assume he saw something, assume that what he saw is faithfully recounted in magic book. So what...no one doubts that religious loons see shit and start religions because of that -
You said you had good reasons to for me to believe in gods, not that some 7th century warlord was a fucking nut - I already believe that...for good reason.
