Why is Kant's practical reason for God wrong?

[MindForgedManacle]

Hmm...I was under the impression that Kant built upon Hume's criticism of metaphysical knowledge and thought that such arguments were fruitless.

Am I wrong?

Kant certainly waylayed metaphysics in general, which is probably why his masterwork is called the 'Critique of Pure Reason'. This could be a contradiction on his part, and Gen seems to think so. A Kantian would probably - of course - prefer to try and give Kant the benefit of the doubt and give it the most charitable reading.

And my thought in another thread has been demonstrated: Genkaus knows everything.
