Anyway, on to the real discussion.
Reading some of the stupid off the wall stupidity by our 'friends' lately, got me to thinking.
If there were a god, why then would there even be a physical reality? A god could just create minds and put whatever it wants into these minds. If that were what god did, then there is no physical reality and no need to make it appear as such. Surely a god could accomplish all it wanted, even the tyrannical misanthrope of the babble-book, without the need or appearance of any sort of physical reality.
Therefore, because there is a physical reality, there is no god.
For the theists that might want to entertain a thought or two here, this is not a thread for your stupid books or your proselytizing. This is not about morals, good, evil, or accepting your bullshit god. If that is your intent, go start your own fucking thread and KEEP OUT!
That physical reality exists (is really real) is a premise, not a conclusion. It's a brute fact which one can accept but not prove. We can't know we're not immaterial minds baking in an illusion of physical reality.
Also, the argument presumes understanding of what such a being would want or do.
The odds that your conclusion is wrong are pretty slim though, in my estimation.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
