Any Theists on AF, I Challenge You to a Debate on the Existence of God

[robvalue]

Sure, I can never demonstrate convincingly, even to myself, that I actually exist. I have to assume that I do, and then assume what I experience of reality is in some way a fair representation of an actual reality.

I can never know these things, nor can I ever believe them because of any argument. All I can do is assume that they are true, for practical reasons. I try to make as few assumptions as possible, after this point. Instead I use evidence and reason, wherever possible, to come to probability ratings about what is and isn't true.

(This is of course addressing solipsism.)

For what it's worth, I am far from convinced that my solipsism assumptions are correct. All I can pragmatically squeeze from them is that this appears to be some coherent representation of something, real or not, and it appears I can learn about it.
