The meaninglessness of the Christian god concept

[Captain Scarlet]

The phrase: “A God exists” insofar as it attempts to construct itself as a proposition is false because the term “God” does not refer to anything in particular, and therefore to posit such a statement supposing that it does and that a god exists in reality is untrue.

1. There are three attributes of existents, these being:
- A) Primary Attributes, the nature of a thing
- B) Secondary Attributes, that things characteristics
- C) Relational Attributes, how the thing stands in relationship to the rest of reality
2) B as well as C are dependent upon and must be related to an existant’s A in order to be considered meaningful.
3) The concept of 'God' lacks a positively identified A.
4) Because of this, the concept of 'God' holds no justified A, B, or C. (From 2)
5) However, an attribute-less term (a term lacking A, B, and C) is meaningless.
6) Therefore, the concept of 'God' is meaningless. (From 3, 4, 5)

For example in the natural world we can state that humans have:

1) the primary attribute of being homo sapiens (their nature being instantiated from the human genome expressed through each unique individual in that group by their specific DNA)
2) it necessarily follows from this that humans have a number of secondary attributes, including biological traits, conscience, the ability to become self aware, but have limited knowledge so and so forth
3) humans stand in relational attributes to the reality in that they are builders of societies and civilizations, create important works through the arts, uncover truths about reality through science but are not the most benevolent beings imaginable

A god may carry secondary or relational attributes but has no positively identified primary attribute. It is described as unknowable (though how that is known is not made clear) and sovereign. God is thus utterly meaningless to rational discourse.
