My job is to give you convincing logic for the existence of God. Once I conveyed that message to you, my job is done. Further, you are free to choose whatever you like.
I don't care about logic in a vacuum, divorced from reality. If your logical games don't match up to anything real (and which would require additional defending), what's the point? I can prove, logically, that elephants are pink, water is poisonous, or any number of other scenarios. All that will have happened at the end of the esercise is we'll have wasted time and bandwith on a pointlessly boring circle jerk. (Not saying that circle jerks are necessarily pointless or boring, but real ones at least have entertainment value.)
However, that's not even the point. My question to you was in response to your contention that atheists believe "God" doesn't exist. My position is I lack the belief that the character does exist. Now the ball is in your court.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
