P.s., I do think you have been shown that there is no good reason to believe in God.  But many people continue to believe for a lot of bad reasons.


God is light metaphorically in the sense he illuminates and manifests and gives knowledge to others by us seeing him. He manifests the true nature of existence. God being the eternal being that always existed, is the true definition of existence.

Mystic: You answered the original question with, among other things, "If I was shown I have no good reason to believe in God." In order for this to make sense, it must mean you are open to the possibility that there is no God. Otherwise, you should have just been honest and answered with "nothing." 

And yet now you say that God is "the true definition of existence."

But if God means existence, then it's not even possible for him to not exist, is it? 

So which one do you really mean?

[True definition of a mystic: "someone who contradicts themselves all over the place."]
