Did you get that right ?

But I've worked hard on the arguments of the intelligent religious thinkers, and I have not been persuaded that they have been proved wrong.
It's fine to say you are agnostic here by the way and i understand what you are trying to convey, it's your last sentence that confuses me a little, firstly why do you think logical arguments are a way to know if there is a god for whom there is little if any empirical evidence, especially if the god is created mid argument.
Can you give some examples of arguments you have difficulty with, maybe I'm simplistic but I've never thought a logical argument good to prove (or show likely) the existence of anything that there is not already other types of evidence for.
