This post of mine didn't get the attention it deserved. So, I have to try here, see if the Higher Spirit who is inhabiting this adobe can inspire proper cogitation.
So, this bit of propositional logic is so simple it should be understood by all here. However, it happens to be a logical truth, i.e. it is always true, which should be a real shocker for most people here since it says there is a god.
So, me, I have a simple explanation but this thread isn't about me. It's about you, and specifically whether you can question your own assumptions so as to get to the truth.
So the question is as follows:
Can you see intuitively whether it is a logical truth?
So first, if you feel intuitively it is, please tell me if you feel comfortable with a piece of logic proving there is a god?
Now, if you feel intuitively it's not a logical truth, then, just to make sure, how would you go about proving it isn't?
For those who don't have any intuition about it, you can go in peace, there's a logical truth that says a god will provide somehow.
And for all the few big mouths here who can't even argue their case, please don't waste your time, just abstain.
Thank you to all.

Logic seems definitely to prove there is a god...
If there is no god, then it is not true that if I pray, my prayers will be answered. I don’t pray; therefore, there is a god
Is that simple enough as a logical truth for you? Is that not intuitive? Can you even tell it's a logical truth or explain why it would or wouldn't be one?
Me, I have a simple explanation. Do you have one?
