Fair enough you don't believe in god, but whether you factor god in you deliberations or not has nothing to do with whether or not god exists. Our deliberations, words, thoughts, beliefs, perceptions, symbols, labels, language, are all merely manifestations of conciousness and mind.
It's fine if people are pretty indifferent to it and just want to live their life either believing or not believing. But I was asking the people who have a strong view point within Atheism if they have a logical reason for Materialism as opposed to Theism, or any other of the many theories of the cosmos. I actually know that there isn't a logical stand point for Atheism, so in asking the question I just wanted to gauge what people thought as one.
I'm not indifferent, so your objection to whateverists post does not apply to me.
I have a question before we go on: what do you mean by "logical stand" or "logical explanation". You have to be a bit more specific what you actually demand or what you think doesn't exist. What are we talking about here? A mathematical proof? A logical argument based on empiricism and probability theory? Your language so far is too imprecise to really argue about anything, or even answer your question properly.
