1) God exists.
2) God doesn't exist.
If 1) is true, do you think it's logically possible that God makes us perceive him and know of him intuitively or in properly basic knowledge manner?
If 2) is true, what is the basis of the delusion and how do I get out of it?
Perhaps others will reply to the above.
Why would they? It's just regurgitated BillLameAssCraig horseshit. Semantic prestidigitation. A sophistic shell game of question-begging and false dichotomy.
And you did get your ultimate answer, and here's another one: Your attempt at a shell game is a failed attempt to divert from your obstinate unwillingness to examine the reasons for your belief critically or to acknowledge the reasonable criticisms that have been offered to you in this thread. You are being disingenuous and intellectually dishonest. And arrogantly so.

He is unwilling, however, to critically examine the absurdities of his "reasoning"-by-feelings.

Yes, in fact (s)he did. Neither is it any of your business.
