The god I believe is just one of absolute truth, the final end, to be a bunch of means...I believe in monotheism, so I don't understand how this relates. If you want a practical reason that I have for believing this, it lies in the natural hierarchy that has been established on earth, with human beings reigning as the rulers of earth. It just makes sense to me there has to be something or someone higher. I've already put forth why, and don't want to get back into that again.
Thank you for your candor, HiRes. I believe that love exists in the same way I believe pain exists.

Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobile
I was using symbols more like I've seen them used in philosophy than in programming or something similar. At least, I think so.... I've also seen an "L"-shaped thing used, but under a 180-degree rotation.
For "not", I mean.

I'm not cosigning, but I've made very similar points in my own argumentation on this subject on other sites (including GameSpot, in the Church and State union), and I wanted to add what I had to say to what Yoda did. As far as the logical contradiction stuff, I was referring to belief in all gods simultaneously, which Yoda suggested would be the fair and proper action when there is no criterion of evidence necessary for any particular one of those beliefs.
If X implies A and Y implies ~A ("not A"), then believing "X and Y" requires complete faith, since it is a logical contradiction. In this way, one could believe in the existence of all gods without recognizing that a great many of them can not actually exist simultaneously. Although, I must admit that theistic faith in a god is usually not this absurd (though related beliefs can definitely be), because special pleading is not necessarily committing a logical contradiction.
