It doesn't seem that the others grasp entirely what you are saying about not believing to be self-contradictory either. I assume that you made your posts to get across why you believe in your god. However, if your post isn't understood, than it doesn't serve that purpose. I want to understand, I really do. You said if you change the language you use it wouldn't do your post justice, but if you don't you just have a mess that no one here understands as well as you do. I am sure you understand I cannot just take your word I should believe in God without understanding your reasoning behind it. So, could you please try to rephrase it some.
The problem is rather that I would be raping the English language and using words beyond their definitions, which I doubt will make you understand much more.
But do say, what do you want me to rephrase?
If anyone still hasn't understood this, I have presented two different foundations for my transcendental monotheology.
One is the a posteriori argument from empirical observation of the (meta)physics of reality.
The other is the epistemological impossibility of the contrary being true (e.g. the fact a non-monotheological/atheist/naturalist epistemic structure accounts only for the abstractions of subjective brain chemistry, not a transcendental objective truth, and therefore can't possible be true according to its own epistemology).
I am going on vacation for a week Will return after then and answer any questions there might be.
