That isn't exactly a reasoned/logical argument.

You are asking the wrong question; What logical reasoning is there to determine there is a God?
All of this, and that is your reason?
It is if you're asking me why I don't believe in it. You're supposed to give the argument for why I should believe in it. Then I'll give you my reasons for why I don't.

It is a perfectly valid question. Do you have an answer?
No. If your position is so readily acceptable and logical, there should be some pretty good reasons why God does not exist. So please let me in on your reasons.

If I can prove one supernatural being exists such as a fairy or a ghost I would have something to go by to argue for the existence of even greater supernatural being such as God but since I can find no evidence of even one supernatural being, even one as humble as the tooth fairy I have to assume there are none. I just adopt the view if it can happen naturally it can happen again but if it can never happen naturally such as unicorns running around on the surface of the moon it will never happen.
Wow... This is funny.
Please address the question at hand that I posed to you and anybody else. Then we go from there.
NO EVIDENCE! Thats logical and reasonable.

I prefer the definition from the Book of Job: god is beyond understanding. So when people try to tell me about god, I realize they are trying to make me understand something that by definition cannot be god.
In what way is a fairy or unicorn equal to a Creator? In other words why are you arguing for the non existence of something that was/could of have been created? We are addressing the Creator not creation. Fairies or unicorn or whatever are not equal in characteristics, thus your analogy is flawed.

If that's all you are going by then what you are asking is for a logical argument against the existence of something eternal and beyond temporal measurement. Human beings are temporal. We can neither prove nor disprove the existence of something perfect in power, wisdom and goodness that created and rules the universe. There is no physical evidence of such a being.
Hell, the meaning of the terms perfect, power, wisdom and goodness begged to be defined now.
However, I've known few people who posit this God.
Please address the question in a reasonable fashion. You have failed to do so.
Do you believe in Zues? If not, why not?
Because you can't see God, then He does not exist? Do you believe in air or gravity?
Not having evidence for something and rejecting it, isn't logical?
Address the topic please.

Just look at the suffering we all experience? I've a B-I-L crippled with MS; in severe pain; he sucks tea through a straw that someone has to hold for him. He urinates through a catheter and I don't know how he defecates; but I suspect it's into a diaper.
He's been a fairly decent bloke, has two young children, paid his taxes; never murdered, raped, or stolen (well maybe he's done a little of that; but nothing serious).
Why would a loving God inflict that sort of stuff - or allow it to happen - on him or his family?

I'm trying to, if you can answer my question, I think you might have the answer to yours.
If I address this argument it would assume the existence of God. Thus, it is beyond the topic.
