Arguing from the assumption that there's no God? No. I don't believe in God. I'm arguing with someone who believes in God. I can assume there isn't a buffalo in my refrigerator. I can assume that because I know what a buffalo is and I have an understanding of what could fit in my refrigerator. I can assume that more reasonable objects are not in my refrigerator such as sour kraut because I don't eat it or buy it and therefore I can safely assume there's no sout kraut in my fridge. I don't know anything about gods at all. I can't even begin to tell you why a God isn't in my fridge or anywhere else for that matter. "Assume" does not and cannot accurately describe my attitude toward the word "God". If you believe in God, and you attempt to convince me, I can reject your belief on the basis of your descriptions. I don't have to know or assume anything about gods to do that. Your words are fallible and the logical inconsistencies are enough to prevent me from adding Gods to a list of things that may or may not be in my refridgetator, much less anywhere else. Do you understand?
I understand, it eats at your craw you can't disprove my God, see I have all the proof I need, just because you do not accept it doesn't mean it's invalid, on the contrary when one argues against my God it gives validity to my God, it would take an insane person to argue against something they can prove doesn't exist.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
