This is a circular argument.

"My god exists, therefore, everything that exists is created by my god".

Things that exist, including life and self awareness, are only evidence for life and self awareness, and other things, existing. The cause of those things, like a god, has to be demonstrated.

It is NOT "my" God. God is the God of the entire world, whether you personally choose to accept it or not. Life and self-awareness, pleasure and pain, as well as all our senses. prove beyond any doubt that a Higher Power than mere human beings was the creator of us all. The fact that we have all of those traits is the demonstration of it, and God is being demonstrated all over the place. Open your eyes.

So... you answer is that you aren't going to simply give a 'Yes' or 'No' reply to clarify you thoughts on the matter?

You don't know if there was a global flood?

Is there anything you are sure of? That you can give a definite 'Yes' or 'No' answer too?

Just trying to shorten the list of things to ask for clarification on, is all.

Not at work.

I gave you my answer.   Why would it need to be the answer you want?  I can think for myself and don't need you telling me how I have to respond.

Okay.

Lets try this an example.

M4X?

Is the sky blue?

No M4X. it's not a loaded question.

It is/was simply words on a screen.

Heck, go ahead. Ask me the same question then.

Or...... You don't seem to want to answer other people's questions. So why should people answer your questions?

Technically it's many colors.  Perceptually it can appear blue? That's my answer.

What is your answer?

It's blue.

Reason: Rayleigh scattering. Photons interacting with air molecules/atmospheric gasses.

So.

Do you believe in any dietys, M4X?

It's violet, but our eyes perceive it as blue.  It can also appear as other colors like red, orange, pink.  But I guess if we're the determining factor, then it's blue if someone wants to believe it's blue.  Of course it can be pink too if someone perceives it as pink. 

I believe in God, but I also believe other beings/things exist as "gods."  Like the sky one could perceive I believe in a "deity", but that's not how I view God, so not a word I would choose.  However, if someone said "deity" and attributed it to God, I wouldn't necessarily be offended.

More times than not, it's about context with me.

So what do you believe about deities?

Because they are?

Not a lot, but we also have different forms of mobility and our environment is often different.   That doesn't mean they can't be mixed together, but it doesn't mean it's a rule that they have to be.

Indeed. Okay, I'll give you plenty of leeway to back up your claim. Why have none of their fossilized boats, tools, domestic animals or human skeletons ever been found mixed with those of any ancient creatures in layers creationists claim were laid down by the Noachian Flood?

Other than as a rhetorical device?
I do not believe in deitys.
Alternativly?
I believe in deitys as much as I believe in dragons/Leanan Sidhe/etc.
