Why do you not believe in God?

[Mystic]

What I have been told is that there is no evidence for God. However even if I grant for the sake of argument that this is true, it does not show that there is no God.

Absolutely true! We can't prove that "God" does not exist. Now, if we follow your line of reasoning, we should also believe in the Tooth Fairy, leprechauns, mermaids, dragons, Hobbits and witches. Can you not see how ridiculous your position is?

Normal logic:

"I have a cowboy hat!"

"Oh, yeah? Prove it."

(Holds up cowboy hat) "Here it is."

"Okay, you do have a cowboy hat."

Creationist logic:

"I have a cowboy hat!"

"Oh, yeah? Prove it."

"You can't prove I don't!"

What your not understanding is that a lot of Theists take their faith in God to be similar to that of faith in free-will or faith in morality.

Both of these don't really have strong arguments for analytically wise, but most humans will believe that it's logical to believe in free-will and morality and in fact illogical to disbelieve in either of these.

I think he is stating, why can't belief in God be rationally justified intuitively in the same way we believe in free-will or morality intuitively. Even if there are arguments for free-will or morality, the thing is, humans believe in before coming across these arguments, and are rational to do so (at least most people believe this).

I would say for something like free-will and morality, the onus is really on the disbelievers to justify not believing in it.

A lot of theists feel the same is true of God. I'm not saying that is the case for me, I don't think in general Atheists are being dishonest to themselves but I do believe they can know God exists, if they listen closely to their heart, in the same way those denying morality, I believe can know morality is not a delusion, by closely listening to their heart.
