OK, many people on here say that logically, the idea of a God does not make sense, so they are therefore atheists. And I agree with that, in the sense that the idea of a God defies all logic.
But let’s actually use logical thinking to address this situation. Let’s pretend there is a God, and He obviously does not want us to “KNOW” He exists, because if He did, He could just megaphone over the entire world “I am God, I exist”. Right? If He wanted to, He could instantly prove His existence. So therefore, He must want us to question His existence, for whatever reason. Possibly so that many people will have faith in Him, and those people will go to Heaven. But that isn’t the point.
The point is, if there IS a God, and He wants us to question His existence, why would logical thinking lead to proof of His existence? He created us, so he could get our minds to work however He wanted. So, He could manipulate our idea of logical thinking just enough so that logic will never lead us to determine His existence. Otherwise, logic would eventually lead mankind to discover evidence of His existence, and the idea of faith in Him would be destroyed.
I am not trying to force my viewpoint, but just to make you think about it another way. So what do you think?
