This as stated is in itself an irrational argument since rationality as incorporated in humans is itself highly questionable and puts god in a very dubious position as to how rationality is defined. There is also the conclusion in this position that atheists by their non-belief are inherently irrational.

Theism in every way suffers from every kind of error. It's the ONE system devised by humans built on an encyclopedia of fallacies from A to Z.

Paradoxically, by a judicious use of such fallacies it's possible to create a fairly coherent system.

There is nothing irrational by not believing in something. The only error atheism suffers from is that all of them (atheists) are wrong.

Is that all there's to it. Gee, I didn't know. I'm so glad someone set me straight!

God either exists or does not exist but I fail to see exactly what is wrong with this statement of mine given that it is definitely true
I do not know whether or not God exists and I could study religion to find the answer but my actual ignorance is also definitely true

• P1 God exists
  
  P2 The existing God [P1] is rational
  P3 God created the Universe
  P4 The existing God-created-Universe is rational
  C5 Therefore a Godless universe cannot exist.

• It is thus meaningless to assert rationality without also specifying the background model assumptions describing how the problem is framed and formulated.
