>> that most people (who do not have such instinct) will choose a different, more logical and beneficial, behavior.
> Do you have evidence for any part of this statement?
I do not understand which evidence you need. You yourself explained that your choice is the result of an instinct. I said that people who have no such instinct will behave differently. It's true by definition. Ok, the "most" part of my sentence is controversial. Maybe I'm wrong, but I definitely can't see a lot of volunteers in the world that behave counter to their own egoistic, logical goals.
> And I feel that the benefits provided to me and my life, as I've previously described, make it rational for me to behave this way on an individual level.
There are no benefits to you and your life. Prove otherwise.
> there can never be evidence for their existence
I never said this.
You do not understand what all of this has to do with the meaning of Universe, because you fail to understand that, without it, there are no reasons to think long-term for each logical individual. You should explain where you find such reasons and I don't see that you could.

I never claimed that you did, instead I was trying to categorize all god claims into one of two groups, and for each group give the reason why I don’t believe any claims that the deities in that group exist. > You do not understand what all of this has to do with the meaning of Universe, because you fail to understand that, without it, there are no reasons to think long-term for each logical individual. This is a claim and you should provide evidence for it rather than shifting the burden of proof to me.
