I am an orthodox Christian, ask me a question!

No such belief is required, because there's no evidence. Unless you can enlighten me, and show me the part where the TAG somehow demonstrates God with strong evidence of him actually existing.

Of course you missed the part, because most people do. But to resolve that, I have presented it in several forms, and I presented my own version of a transcendental argument which concludes the existence of a necessary intellectual subsistent transcendent God, after the effect, that is, a posteriori, after reflecting on the existence of the natural world, as opposed to the strictly a priori orthodox TAG. Besides, those are transcendental arguments; neither of which have been refuted (but instead confounded with "created logic and morality"-arguments and the like), but I also presented the decidedly a posteriori argument from potentiality and actuality.

In any case, of course you would not accept any argument that I present, because you will always judge it as "not evidence" without refuting it, just "semantics", etc, and I can't really spend much time on that without a proper refutation.

That is one of the truths of the orthodox transcendental argument, namely that people stick to their presuppositions, a priori foundational knowledge, and judge the world and all arguments and evidence based on that; and that it takes a quantum leap beyond reasonable possibility to invoke except by free will for anything to change that, so that what we should really do is compare the logical coherence and concordance with reality of those almost unshakable presuppositions a priori, as anything else is really unrealistic. You will deny that too maybe, doesn't change anything, only shows that it's easier just to deny to come to terms with a certain reality of subjectivity and hard presuppostion.
The people who are the most bigoted are the people who have no convictions at all.
