There's no sound argument or evidence for the existence of any deity. That's about it, but isn't it enough?

That doesn't make sense, for anything. Define an object without giving it any properties. Go on.

The opposite counters that....in the end, no one wins in philosophical debates....you just get the guy who's the bigger douche who claims he wins because the other guy gets bored with the whole bullshit.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

A God - all loving, all powerful, wisdom, just... those are attributes. .

There is no single argument that would work for all theists. Using a logical argument to convince someone who doesn't pride themselves on being logical is tricky.
You've got to make their logical conclusion sneak up on them. A lot of religious folks, like most of the religious members on this forum, will simply shut down mentally when their mind starts to stray there. Their false beliefs in a magical sky daddy is too precious for them to put down their mental barriers and accept facts.
Everything I needed to know about life I learned on Dagobah.

I'm pretty sure if there were one argument to put the whole thing to rest, greater minds that those on these forums might have already come up with it.
Not that you aren't all brilliant.

Dude, did you even read my post? I said define an object without giving it properties, becuase you said to 'define God physically, no attributes please'. It's not possible to do so. Defining anything entalis giving it attributes.

it isn't in our nature to think of a God, it is in our nature to seek answers and the concept of God is most influenced in this world.
