Now, I have to say this about your posts, though: they are not doing you any credit to your self-respect, self-esteem, and thus ultimately any self-worth.
You see, dear atheist colleagues here, you can hide your identity in the internet, but you cannot hide from yourselves.
Please submit posts that are to your self-worth as a thinker and writer who dwells on truths, facts, logic, and the history of ideas, delivered with all civility of tongue.
The most accurate concept would be that "god" is an impossibility.
A first cause requires an ex ante facto empty state of the universe; of total existence. If you unravel all "causes" to the point before so-called creation, the only "god" you are left with is a single instance; atemporal, unmoving, and unchanging. It would not be able to process any actions or thoughts. It wouldn't be able to "cause" anything. The mere fact that we exist is a testament to it's non-existence.
Regarding definitions of god, or concept of god - there are none that have any meaning. Calling it the creator, act of pure being, first cause, love, wrath, or whatever means absolutely nothing unless it can be given physical properties. That's the one thing that no one is able to do, and with good reason. It doesn't have any. "God" was never anything more than a poorly conceived explanation. An explanation that becomes increasingly obscure as time marches on, and with every argument that is made in it's defense.
Oh, I almost forgot: Go fuck yourself, you pretentiously arrogant piece of shit.
