I mean, you can't prove that a god absolutely exists any more than an atheist can prove that a god doesn't absolutely exist.
I know you trying to take my original sentence and change one word, but then it loses meaning.
"I do not consider Theism as a good option. At best, Theism has good arguments for dogma in religion, but beyond that there is NOTHING"
Does not make sense, especially when an Atheist is trying to say it
It would read better this way
"I do not consider Theism as a good option. At best, Theism avoids dogma unlike religion however it still believes in GOD"
See now that sounds better from an Atheist.
I was not sure what exercise you were trying to have me do.
As a theist "beyond everything there is a GOD"
Anyway, your point on the absolute existence of God
I do not need to prove God absolutely exists to anyone. I am happy with that fact that God exists. This is not something I can extrapolate and show. You can not use logic and reasoning, etc nor there is any need of it. This is my personal experience. It does not concern me to prove this to anyone. Nor I do expect anyone to believe it.
I can grant you that, for you at least, god exists so long as you have that belief. But what is this god which exists? What does she want from you and what is all this silliness about a life after death? How did that idea get smuggled in?
As for it being a "creator" god in particular, why do you assume that this god is literally responsible for everything empirical? Couldn't a god of much more modest dimensions be your creator and insofar as it makes your ground of being possible, it does in a sense create the world as you experience it. Why does every theist insist on the trans-galaxial, extra-celestial size? Your experience of god is personal, a personal sized god seems more fitting.
