The inverse certainly does not follow from reason. The inverse says that any God that would create you is evil.

Well, I didn't make the inverse statement. You did. LOL

The rest of your comments are articles of faith; not statements of reason. Nor do they rationally follow from one to the next through to the end, but I don't have any more time for this thread.

I said that arguments for the existence of gods are either irrational or irrelevant (for practical purposes - because one cannot draw definite conclusions). Nothing I've seen here has indicated otherwise. To say that is not to say that assuming that god exists, having for whatever reason accepted some such irrational or irrelevant argument, it is irrational to follow his commandments.

In other words, you are arguing against a position that I have not taken (a straw man) which is: It is irrational to obey god. I have never made that stupid statement, nor would I.

Now, I've got to bid you adieu for now. See ya around!

Look at existence, is all I'm saying. We are the idea and expression of God, as we are in his image.

It's just that easy.

Maybe you can't draw definite conclusions from the kind of malarky that you've been throwing out. But your conscience has (or at least had at one time) a conclusion.

There is evidence.
