Why do you not believe in God?

[jonb]

Is that an underhand attack aimed at my hat? Are you implying it is not a black hat, but rather the absence of hat?

Absolutely not. Yours is a most magnificent hat. I only wish I had one like it. (Oh, damn! There I go coveting again! Guess I'm doomed!)

Far from it, I have many hats this one is yours

Dear mysticknight, let's think about the nature of nothing.

Nothing is not just the absence of matter, it also lacks space or area, time, any any qualities you can think of. It has no qualities whatsoever even qualities like absence, It has not even any guiding principles it is nothing it even lacks existence, as such cannot exist and thus in its passing forces the existence of something which not having any boundaries is everything. The creator of everything is thus nothing, pointless. So to worship the creator is to worship nothing; Pointlessness welcome to Absurdia.

Nothing also is not a spiritual entity, and it's not the necessary existence, and is not merciful, and not compassionate, and not powerful, and not loving, and not good...and not conscious etc...you missed those qualities...it in fact isn't anything.

It's not simple absence of space and time. If your argument was sound, then material existence would be proven in philosophy. So far philosophers agree there is no argument that can prove the material world exists. It's possible only consciousness exists.

If you can't prove the existence of my hat, you are also unable to assign any qualities to it, you might wish it to be an intelligent hat, but that is about what you want not what it is.
