Justified how?
Jesus is like Pinocchio.  He's the bastard son of a carpenter. And a liar. And he wishes he was real.

No one claimed to have proof of anything drippy. And you're one to be talking about logic! That's rich! *snort*. Why don't you go lie about the contents of the bible somewhere. It's what you're good at.

Read the OP old sport. I never made any claims in it. I only pointed out that the OP was not logically possible and the following supporting platitudes were also deeply grounded in logical fallacy.
Just as fallacious as the certainty of your own beliefs...in what way was this not clear to you?  By the way, calling people "sport" all the time does not enhance the efficacy of your arguments.

We have a pretty good understanding of reality i mean you know science and observation.  No one can observe a god since
you know the going claim is god is outside of time and space which is nonsense.

Yep. That was my point in regard to a certain god concept in the event it did somehow have a reality. But not all god concepts involve transcrndence of space-time. Therefore I was specific with my definition.

It still remains true that the concepts are man made.

The concept of a god is manmade regardless of a given concept's reality. My concept of a table is a human construct but that which the concept is a referent for is a part of reality.
