Right.
Quote:2) You have been unable to defeat metaphysical arguments for the existence of god
"Defeat" is an interesting term. Are we fighting? I'd say that the arguments are difficult and a lot of people get them wrong. Because they are not entirely provable or disprovable with easy arguments, it makes sense to me to withhold a conclusion.
Quote:3) You do not believe however that these arguments offer sufficient proof or evidence for you personally to believe
They may offer sufficiently persuasive arguments for people who understand them better.
Quote:4) You do believe however that these types of augments can provide proof of god's existence (you just don't personally believe one has been offered yet)
We'd better be careful about the word "proof" as people use that differently. I'd say they might be persuasive. And, again, it may be that one has been offered and I'm not sufficiently up to speed on it yet.
