Re: Fundamental Question in the Philosophy of Religion
Using just logic to examine imprecise premises is like trying to rebuild an engine with a just pair of pliers. Plenty of clanging and cursing but you won't actually get anwhere.
The problem here is that no one has defined what god is. Does Oghnoidsf exist? Which set should it be in? A defintion is needed before this becomes meaningful. However , you can't define God because by definition it is indefinable. God is super natural, if it wasn't it wouldn't be God. Super natural entities exist outside of the realm of rational, logical and evidence based thinking.
That said, belief in any entity not readily observed by empirical experience or easily inferred should be in the set of things that require evidence. This is just common sense.
