Read the OP reproduced by yours truly, below.
There's no proof of anything anywhere in here... I'm not even sure which god he's talking about now. I've never read any holy writ that shows a deity creating the universe. The holy books we read today were written by men in the middle of the desert in the middle of the Eurasian continent. They had no concept of a universe or even that the earth is round.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I have said this nth times here in this thread, "My concept of God is that in concept God is first and foremost the creator and operator of the universe and man and everything with a beginning."
That describes thousands of gods. Can you be more specific? Is this a concept in your head of a god not yet described by anyone else?
Have you ever noticed all the drug commercials on TV lately? Why is it the side effects never include penile enlargement or super powers?
Side effects may include super powers or enlarged penis which may become permanent with continued use. Stop taking Killatol immediately and consult your doctor if you experience penis enlargement of more than 3 inches, laser vision, superhuman strength, invulnerability, the ability to explode heads with your mind or time travel. Killatoll is not for everyone, especially those who already have convertibles or vehicles of ridiculous size to supplement penis size.

Short of telepathy, it's kinda hard to prove a concept. Sorry kid, but you won't find too many psychics on an atheist forum.

Let's see, my concept of god: god is magic, god is fantasy, god is delusion, god is an excuse, god is an escape, god is a manipulation, god is illogic, god is non factual, god is untrue, god is anecdotal.
OK, your turn Mario, prove me wrong.
Edit: Oops, I almost forgot: god is man made. According to your words (and assuming your are human): "God in concept is first and foremost the creator and operator of the universe and man and everything with a beginning."
Sounds man made to me, not god made.

I am a theist, what do you think of my proof for God existing?
24th October 2016, 17:27
This is my proof for God existing.
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?
I refuted your 'proof' in post #44.
I took every one of your premises, and demonstrated exactly which logical fallacy they committed.
Several other people also pointed out the same fallacies.
Not sure if you are aware of this, but if your syllogism commits logical fallacies, it can not prove its conclusion.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

Okay Mario, here is my concept of "God":
'A figment of superstitious imagination, a placeholding descriptor for natural phenomenal cause in lieu of actual explanation, historically used for indoctrination and sociopolitical control, until shown conclusively to be otherwise.'
Your go.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
