You may think it sounds odd coming from me, but I care not a jot for arguments as to whether there's a God or not. I care far more about the reasoning process, unending I should say, that strives towards seeking the truth of the matter. The difference between me and those inclined towards a faith position on the matter is that I can't accept the premise unless I have evidence. As such, I can't accept God's existence as a valid premise for any process of logic. "God exists. The writings inspired by God promote love of one's neighbour and charitable thoughts and deeds. That is a good thing. Therefore the existence of God is confirmed." It's quite hard to spot the logical flaw, and quite difficult to avoid being called a curmudgeon if you point it out!
