24. Step by Step! Any Takers?

Let's try it this way if there is interest!

MAJOR PREMISE:

IF (A) man was able to originate the idea/concept
of God through the power of imagination, as opposed
to reason and/or revelation,

THEN (B) man did originate the idea/concept of God
through the power of imagination.

MINOR PREMISE:

(A) Man was able to originate the idea/concept of
God through the power of imagination, as opposed
to reason and/or revelation.

CONCLUSION:

(B) Man did originate the idea/concept of God
through the power of imagination.


Step #1:

Do you believe the argument is so constructed that if its premises
are true its conclusion will follow as true therefrom (i.e., that
it is logically valid)?

I do.

Step #2:

Do you believe that atheism implies the truth of the conclusion
and that atheists implicitly and/or explicitly believe the
conclusion to be true?

I do.

Step #3:

Do you believe that atheism implies the truth of the minor
premise and that atheists implicitly and/or explicitly believe
the minor premise to be true?

I do.

Step #4:

Do you believe that you can take the minor premise and
conclusion of a logically valid modus ponens argument and
construct the major premise therefrom?

I do.

Step #5:

Do you believe that the major premise of the above argument
is properly inferred and properly constructed from the minor
premise and conclusion of the argument?

I do.

Step #6:

Do you believe that atheism implies that the major premise
is true and that atheists implicitly and/or explicitly believe
the major premise to be true?

I do.

I think I have made my case for my positions regarding these important, simple, fundamental, public issues and I am more than willing to further test my understanding of atheism as popularly promoted.

Thanks for cooperating.
