You're being intellectually dishonest by continually avoiding the question. This isn't worth my time, so I'll once again conclude you're believing blindly, without any justification for why one unverifiable entity exists over any other.
FtR out.
Quote: But *I'm* claiming that my grass growing means there must be unverifiable gnomes doing the said grass growing. You might find such a thought ridiculous or suspect that I'm purely making up this thought experiment in order to inspect your metaphysical conduct, but none of this matters. What matters is that you believe an unverifiable entity acts upon this universe, much like I say unverifiable gnomes act upon grass to make it grow. Our claims are equal in terms of indirect evidence, but not surprisingly, you fervently reject even the mere thought of me asking you questions about unverifiable gnomes. What do I see as the problem here? That integrity doesn't seem to be something that you hold to. There's a double standard at play, and if your conclusion is that we shouldn't believe in unverifiable lawn-growing gnomes because it's ridiculous, implausible etc. then so be it. Just let it be known that these unverifiable gnomes are a metaphor - a metaphysical replica of *your god* - and thus, to be fair to you, I'll apply *your* standards to your unverifiable bud. Or maybe, you can finally explain your reasoning for why you can confidently say unverifiable gnomes don't exist, but an unverifiable sky daddy does. Until then, your beliefs are begging the question => you are believing blindly as far as *you're* letting me know.It's mostly a rant full of unsupported assertions. The only clear question is a rhetorical question to yourself. The only other thing resembling a question is:
Quote:Or maybe, you can finally explain your reasoning for why you can confidently say unverifiable gnomes don't exist, but an unverifiable sky daddy does.But, as I haven't confidently said that gnomes don't exist (as I've asked for information on the claimant and have received none), it's a nonsensical question.
If you want a question answered, ask a clear and meaningful question.
