How Many Has God Killed?

[Eleazar]

Spare me the greasy sophistry. A proof either establishes god's existence without assuming god's existence, or else it says nothing whatsoever about god's existence. What proof have you got?

It's not sophistry, it's just a specific case of the general view that everything that exists depends on God's existence. If there is such a thing as a proof that does not depend on God's existence, then this general view is false. You demand me to give you a proof of my view, yet if such a proof existed its existence would be inconsistent with the view itself...in other words, it is a demand that logically cannot be met.
