Question about meaning and perception of reality from a theist.

Still sound like terrible logic?

More like the faith in god must shine outward from you rather than depend on reality to illustrate god.

And then you're gonna hafta deal with peeps like Ace, here. Wink

Example:
I exist, therefore Odin exist.
I exist, therefore Clown exist.
I exist, therefore Allah exist.
I exist, therefore Santa Claus exist.
I exist, therefore Unicorn exist.
I exist, therefore Elves exist.

See the problem? Your arguments are highly logical, Amkerman.
The sum totality of one's being limits these improbable variables. The atheist is one who may be defined with "lack of belief," but the more positive belief is in that of science to define reality without the need of extraneous variable.
