Your statement is inconsistent with your own Atheism.
Your statement presumes some You ('I') exists to 'choose' or 'trust' apart from the delusions induced by brain chemicals.
Where do you get that 'I' that trusts - apart from chemical delusion????
With Atheism. there is no 'you' apart from the chemicals and delusions induced by chemical force.
So even your own direct experience is radically inconsistent with your Atheistic metaphysics. You may have never considered it, but it's obviously very real. You do not experience yourself as a chemical machine with no free-will or intention apart from chemical determinism. You have a soul working through the physical brain. Your soul is you. Your brain is a chemical store of memory and physical conduit to the physical realm within which we exist.

So you don't have any position on whether or No God exists?
Then why are you here? Do you Atheists come here to share no position on whether or not God exists?
Newsflash for the dim of wit: Atheists by and large have moved on from gods. We're not obsessed with making sure we are correct in having tossed your particular god in the shitter with the rest of them.
Why do we come here? Variety of reasons. Often it is to commiserate over the annoyance of having to share the planet with wee brained folk such as yourself.
More important question: why are you here? Are you so offended that anyone should fail to pay homage to your god? It doesn't seem like you are moved with godly love to spare me from the depths of hell. (Thank you for that much.) Don't tell me you actually thought you had such a killer argument we had ever heard before.

So you keep saying. Never mind that what you say isn't quite coherent and certainly isn't convincing. But I guess that is how you maintain your faith as well. In the absence of anything more substantial I suggest you move on down the road and try peddling that snake oil somewhere else.
Why can't you answer my question?
You haven't demonstrated the slightest problem with anything I've argued. You can't demonstrate where anyone else has either.
Your hatred for me is not an argument. Neither is avoiding the arguments an argument. YOU HAVE NO ARGUMENT. You have no merit to your intellectually lazy position. You just wish I would stop pointing it out.
