I am a theist, what do you think of my proof for God existing?

[I_am_not_mafia]

Says who? You? Are you the ultimate authority in defining supreme intelligence?

So you've never heard of the Bible then?

So you've never heard of the Quran then? Or the Torah? Or the Book of Mormon? The Vedas? The Hubbard Communications Office Bulletins?

I like to make a confession, this will annoy you, but it is good for us all, namely:

As  I see you to be to all appearances harboring a self-inserted chip into your brain, by which you block your mind from intelligent thinking on truths, facts, logic, and the history of ideas,

I laughed, Out.... Loud!

Since you're such an expert on the history of ideas, how about you answer my question?
"How and When did humanity first come across the concept of a creator god?"

see if you can comprehend and tell me what you understand of the statement below from yours truly, as follows:

“The default status of things in the totality of reality is existence.”

Nice word salad...

Let me squeeze it out: Things in reality exist.
You know?... you're on to something... it's called... wait for it... "Synonyms"!
I think it was a French guy who coined this kind of phrase, a Monsieur de La Palice, from where came the "term lapalissade meaning an utterly obvious truth—i.e. a truism or tautology."

My impression is that you go away from the thoughts I am trying to make you comprehend in my messages in this forum, in this thread of mine:

”I am a theist, what do you think of my proof for God existing?”

I don't know how many different ways there can be to tell you the same thing: your so called "proof" proves almost nothing.
It proves that your concept of god exists within your mind. It proves that such a concept can be put into words. And that's it.
Your insistence that you have proved something else with that "proof" does hint at how your mind operates... and I'm afraid to tell you, it does not bode well for humanity.

Reality cares not for your concepts.
Reality cares for what is, in existence... like you enjoy saying so much, outside of your mind, outside of words... outside of any representation.

Please do not tell me that you already explained, please let us we two start from... as from a clear slate, okay?

It will always be a clear slate with you, because you can't learn anything. You're not actually having a conversation with us because you always reset to zero after reading our posts. Conversations progress, with give and take from both sides. That's not what this is.

Dear atheist colleague Simon Moon, let you and me exchange thoughts, because I stand to learn from your mastery of fallacies.

Now, you say: "This is the fallacy of affirming the consequent. Strike one."

If I may, how did you come to the certainty that I am affirming the consequent, therefore strike one?

He read your 'proof', in which you affirmed the consequent. He illustrated his point with an example to make it easy for you to understand why affirming the consequent is problematic. He made every effort to be clear.

If I may, how were you able to not understand him?

Okay, I'll tell you. I think you need to put more effort into it. Think harder. Heck, why not just go back and get that elementary school equivalency degree first. Then maybe you'll find out "proof" is for mathematics and liquor. If you want to convince people you found god, just produce the damn thing or shut the fuck up .. and I mean that in the nicest way possible.

Enjoying your fucking moves Jester.  Work it girl.

Jesster is awesome.

Right, the fault is with all of us[/sarcasm]

He gets that a lot, everywhere he posts.

One thing this thread might be good for: If anyone is wavering on the cusp of being a theist or atheist; send them to this thread. I've never seen someone do as good a job of making theism look irrational as the OP.
