( I will apologize, now for any errors in keeping track of y'all). I am asking my Q to (As), if you consider yourself one.
It seems you 2 folk believe you have some coherent, testable, non-relabeling, non-flawed, non-fallacious, logical. reason to answer the:
Q. Is there any logical. reasonable. rational reason to be an A?
Am I correct, that you both believe your view(s) to be rational, etc?
Yes, I gave you my reasons. You can challenge any of them if you want. You can produce a reason I should care, or produce a definition of God that doesn't fall into my three categories. So far, every theist I have talked to has failed on all these counts. I'm not saying with certainty that a theist will never succeed. But until such time, I'm an atheist and an apatheist. I'm quite comfortable with that, and I'm comfortable with other people being theists, whether they have good reasons or not.
If you don't think my reasons are rational, I'm also comfortable with that. You're welcome to say why.
With regard to a generic creator, I'm completely undecided. This is still being an atheist, if you call such thing a god, since I lack belief that it's real as of yet.
