I am a theist, what do you think of my proof for God existing?
RE: I am a theist, what do you think of my proof for God existing?
This thread will never go anywhere and needs to be abandoned.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

Mariosep, your first point is nonsense.  Utter trash.  There is no evidence that any sentient being either created or operates "the universe and man and everything with a beginning."  If there ever was a first cause, it's highly unlikely that it was sentient -- It could be something as simple as a single quantum fluctuation that toggled a tiny area of space from "0" to "1" and started a mindless chain reaction.

He's just giving us godless heathens a taste of what hell will be like; where we are forced to read his one excruciatingly long, convoluted, and mindless post...for eternity. With no option of responding. *shivers*

1. Formulate the information of the concept of God, thus:
"God in concept is first and foremost the creator and operator of the universe and man and everything with a beginning."

2. Look for instances of causation in reality outside of concepts in our mind.

3. We find countless examples of causation in reality outside of concepts in our mind.

4. From the countless instances of causation in reality, we infer to the existence of a first and ultimate cause.

5. We find that the first and ultimate cause of all instances of causation in reality corresponds to our information on the concept of God, namely, the creator and operator of the universe and man and everything with a beginning.

6. Conclusion: God exists in concept as first and foremost the creator and operator of the universe and man and everything with a beginning.


What do you think about my proof for the existence of God?
So then who created god?
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.

It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.

Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll

[EDIT] You can also point out the fallacy of affirming the consequent in his "proof". He really likes that one.

The same BS that every fanatic tries to use to 'prove' how real their god is. How sad.

I wish people would realize that if you want to believe in fairy tales, it's best to just keep them to yourself.

I spent years arguing against theism.

Now I just make fun of it and socialize with my awesome friends here.
