Non-Thiests simply say that they do not think that god exists because they have no evidence that cannot easily be otherwise explained. If Theists wish us to believe that there is a god, they must give us some proof of this proposition. Sorry, but the following chains of reasoning are not good enough: 1) "I believe in God because the Bible says so." "I believe in the Bible because God says so." 2) "I believe in God because he changed my life." "God changed my life because I believe in Him" Please attempt to give answers that offer logical proof.
