You said you have a logical reason for believing in god. Asked to pony up, you say it's pointless. If it's A/S/K, I agree it's pointless, but don't claim it's logical.
Why should I pony up? Again. This is not the subject here. The subject is: if one has logical and rational reasons for belief. Just because another (you) lacks understanding does not disqualify that fact.
I've never mentioned a/s/k. I don't see how that has any relevance to this discussion, or the logical foundation to belief. You're not even on subject. You're being a dunce. That's what fundamentalism buys you.

You see, anti-theism is the expression commonly used to describe those "vocal" atheists who bash religion and criticize the god idea - But I believe that, just like most atheists are agnostics, most anti-theists will also be agnostic - In my case, I'm a gnostic atheist and an anti-theist to an extent - But most people here who are anti-theists describe themselves as agnostic atheists - Therefore, the fact someone is a gnostic atheist who makes a positive claim about god not existing, such as myself, doesn't correlate or correspond with anti-theism, aggressiveness and all the other characteristics you are indirectly labelling people like me (and other few members of this forum who describe themselves as gnostic atheists) - I could be a gnostic atheist and not an anti-theist.
Your ignorance on the subject doesn't prove you're right.
That would be true if the op hadn't clearly defined gnostic atheism as opposed to anti theism. One up to you for ignorance about the thread
