You actually think that there are no logical arguments for God, no inferrential logical deductions, philosophical arguments, no personal testimoy of a person's inner knowledge, and more... You demand evidence, but immediatly cry out you don't like that evidence. Manny claims he is open to the idea of God but then says it is an imaginary belief... that is a contradiction. Now since there is this kind of of evidnence in God, as mentioned above, show me some of this same kind of evidence for a unicorn or santa claus. You can't. Therefore they are not the same at all.
Logical arguments = Not proof
Philosophical arguments = Not proof
Personal testimony = (Hey I once met this bloke down the pub who swears..) No proof.
That isn't evidence, claiming that it is is just a lie. Hey give me a few thousand years, a few civilizations and a very comprehensive story about Santa or my little pony's and I could easily drum up.
Logical philosophical arguments made by ancient men in togas.
Personal testimony's from men who would swear on their presents that they have actually met Santa or said horned equines.
I'm still waiting on that evidence of yours, I mean besides your gut feeling and the socialization process you've undergone probably by your parents or your social network.
It's very much the same, you guys harp on Scientology all the time and it's complete bogus I know, but give it a few hundred years and presto it's socially accepted because it's always been there.
Just look at Mormonism same thing there, or Protestantism.
edit: Or In IMHO's case his alcoholism.
