If god is the source of all goodness and losing faith in him causes unhappiness, can we infer from that that anyone who finds happiness without a belief in god is proof that a god that is the source of all happiness does not exist?

Decent point, however, what I made was just a suggestion, not necessarily applicable in all cases due to the fact that rules have exceptions.

The idea that any religion's god is the source of all goodness would be hilarious if it wasn't so insulting to all those who have been slaughtered in his "holy" name.


Tut Tut

this is an example of the logical fallacy ad-hominem
