No verifiable evidence is the Christian position

It's my preference because truth couldn't lead me to any other choice.

Facepalm

If you didn't have any other choice, then it's not a preference. That means I was right before in saying you believe because you think it's the truth, and truth has nothing to do with preference.

Quote: I cannot believe that which I don't reason to be true.

Which once again shows you're not believing out of preference. Contradictions all 'round here...

Quote: My history isn't Christian. For inherited preference to be true I'd have to be comfortable in any faith. My community is anti faith of any kind.

In that case, I think it's quite noble of you to believe the way you do.

Quote:A gross misrepresentation again. Unverifiable proof does not equal no proof. You make that logical omission, I do not.

I said the opposite to what you said above.

How is something proof if it's unverifiable? Proof by definition is what *makes* something verified or not.

I think your challenge in our discussion at hand is to explain why you would put faith in something unverifiable. You can't know if God exists, therefore you're actually not even justified in saying he's unverifiable. That's an assumption that's begging the question. This is why it's nonsensical for you to dismiss the gnomes that grow my grass on a whim because you effectively have a double standard. Fallacies aren't considered good reasoning.

And by the way, how do you know that your god's undetectable attribute doesn't stem from pure non-existence?
