Just like you're claiming Zues is in my living room even though you can't show him to me or prove he exists. Is that where this is going?-not even in that direction. Just like suppressing revealed knowledge of a god is both not what accounts for my atheism and is inconsequential to my opinion of your religion - the existence of a god is incosequential to whether or not your claims about people and why they do or don't do x are either true or compelling. As I said before, assume that god exists, and accept that some of us have never met the guy. Just like you've never met zues and nothing more than that is required to explain why you don't believe in zues.
Quote:I do not pretend to be neutral. I have presuppositions, namely that the God of the Bible exists. And I would say you can't say anything intelligible about the world without God's existence.Here again, you may misunderstand other people in ways that ought to be easy to clear up by reference to yourself. Is that what you're doing here?
You say the existence of God is inconsequential to you, yet here you are on the atheist forums attempting to suppress knowledge about God.
