Reasons to be a Skeptic – Not an Atheist

[George-ananda]

Not really. Every argument for God falls under either logic, scripture or personal experience.

But from those things even a million and one different arguments can be constructed.

Sophistry. The arguments are still the same in form.

Saying people can constructed a different argument without showing this argument makes your point irrelevant.

Sophistry.

From the dictionary Sophistry is 1. the use of fallacious arguments, especially with the intention of deceiving.

What have I said fallacious? Why are you thinking I am trying to deceive.

The arguments are still the same in form.

All arguments are in the form of a sequence of logical steps.

Saying people can constructed a different argument without showing this argument makes your point irrelevant.

The discussion here is about the relationship between skepticism and atheism; not showing specific arguments.

When I see evidence of a more likely interpretation, I will acknowledge it

Sounds like "this is my story and I am sticking to it because no one has shown me I am wrong" to me.
But to each their own.

The intent part is secondary. However since you admitted the arguments are the same in forms, as I pointed out, denying this is sophistry as you equivocate the different wording makes an argument different in form. It doesn't.

You can call God Allah, YHWH or an apple pie the forms are the same once reduced to a simple symbol table.

All arguments are in the form of a sequence of logical steps.

Yes hence why all god arguments no matter from what source end up following the same forms once you reduce it to something simply. Which is the point I made a few times already

You should of thought of that before your post. After all I was responding to your points about arguments.

Only if you're intent on interpreting motives in the worst possible way.

Wait, isn't that what you were berating in an earlier post?

yet another who attempts to dictate to me what I think/feel/believe so they can attack their strawman with such vigor?
