antitheism

I have often heard the stance that god is "greater than reason", so even if the claim of god's existence is unfalsifiable and therefore unscientific, everyone can happily believe whatever. After all, Ockam's razor only applies in science, so why bother...

Are there any refutations to this claim? Pointers, perhaps...?

Thanks.

• bill_sheehan : The person making that very silly statement doesn't really believe what he's saying, and you can prove it by saying, "God says to give me all your money."
  
  What do you mean, no he didn't? How do you know? Surely you're not relying on your fallible human reason...



• rdmiller3 : If God is greater than reason, then he could certainly manage to make sense if he wanted to.
  
  Apparently, God doesn't want reasonable people to believe in him.



• westonlockley : You'll just have to believe because bible bible bile. Or get out of my country flag flag flag.



• eonen : Refutations?
  
  How about, "Prove it"?
  
  Or possibly, "What's the difference between believing in god against reason and just making up a god with your imagination?"

j_brisby : If God is greater than reason, then kumquats sing greener porn tractor James Dean.

vijeno : Your wrong. Kumquats definitely wear thongs as joyous as lighted blue mineral water, though.
