No I can fully understand your reasoning, and have said so many times. I just don't accept it. I know better in my own mind.
You are different to me - you won't begin to let yourself understand (a self imposed restriction) with your proviso that you must have reason to accept the whole thing first.
As we've been over many times, there can be no corroboratable evidence of God. That is the nature of God as we (Christians) can know it, assuming God. It is an entirely rational exercise, unlike most other subjects that can be evidenced, and therefore do not require rational cognition.
So: The assumption can have no basis in corroborated evidence.
God is not just unprovable according to me. It is according to Christianity... a 2000 year old belief that has always held this view. The idea is common across many other beliefs too. Not that that is of any significance, other than to counter your attempt to make me sound like I am unique in holding this POV.
Other gods (as in the definition of other gods) fail to rationally satisfy serious inquiry. Believers in those gods would disagree with me, much the same as you disagree given your standpoint. As I started, I can understand all these POV, even though I don't accept them.
