Strong Atheism starts from faith

[tackattack]

---

1- I don't make the claim that God exists in the commonly accepted def. of reality or objectively at all. Quite the opposite actually.
2- I'll wait
3- Well it looks like he's done so define it for us, oh wise one, since you're using please.
4- No it's not reflexive rationalization. It's been a formulated conscious process of logical deduction. it's not rationalization, check your definitions. I'm fully prepared to reevaluate my beliefs and accept any accountability for that. It's just like an atheist to assume us frail little Christians are just afraid to let something go j/k anyways. Now, are you speaking of the validity of my deductive reasoing or the soundness of my premisis.. and yes I learned "debate speak" in roughly a week so cut me a little slack.

Why does the premises of deductive logiic have to follow objective perception? Could a premise be true and subjective?

1. In your imagination. Good that you can admit it.
2. When i get home, I promise
3. LOL wut?
4. What subjective or objective evidence did you use to come to such a logical conclusion? I'm talking specific examples in your life.

I will respond but please see questions below as well ty.

1- I'm not sure that's the exact area of the psyche it resides.. see my response to dbp. otherwise yes my idea of God rests somewhere in my mind . (and a mind is a terrible thing to waste... who's too young for that phrase? )
2-kk
3- You said

What are the hard facts?

and referenced Fr0d0's definition. Well he probably won't define it so if you define it I will attempt to answer it, or if not I'll just exclude question 3 from further discussion.
4-Specific life examples?
4.1-I can seperate experienced reality from rationalized reality, unwitnessed from observation. I was in a major car accident and had functional amnesia, was completely coherent yet all facts of the 24 hour period are from outside input, the brain wasn't on record for that time.
4.2-I have not been found mentally defective (physically or psychologically)
4.3-There is a strong distinction from the biological responses from stimuli and the "rushing of the spirit". I won't specify what outside stimuli on the forums (whether chemical or psychological).
4.5-Synchronicity every day, minor and major
4.6-Healing from laying on hand and prayer for others and self.
4.7-A galvanizing force, not explainable with my logic to originate from self, acting on my perception, will and control
4.8-a buried post waiting for seponse from Void

A-Why does the premises of deductive logiic have to follow objective perception?
B-Could a premise be true and subjective?
C- Are you questioning the validity of my deductive reasoing or the soundness of my premisis?

I dont think all theists 'are afraid to let things go'.

excellent!

There are probably thousands of reasons that people believe what they do.

Its just that if god doesnt exist 'according to the accepted definition of reality' in what way does he exist?

Obviously in a way that does not meet the normal definition of reality.

Just like all those other imaginary things.

exactly like all those other imaginary things like math, psychology, philosopy, quantum singularity, dark energy, ideas, etc. they can't possibly contribute to reality so lets trash them all.
