Heheh! Okay, fr0d0. That's a fancy way of saying that religion (or god) is beyond the reach of evidence. Or maybe it doesn't. It doesn't matter. My question to you was, why do you believe that god exists when his existence is a prerequisite to holding that belief? It seems rather nonsensical to me and I hoped you could explain.
