See I never said that God doesn't exist. YOU did.
1. So you're not implying that when you say his existence if irrelevant? In which case... what is your point? If his existence is irrelevant then that means him 'being' is irrelevant, because he can't 'be' or do anything if 'He' does not exist.
2. On MSN you've said to me before that he doesn't exist... and that he doesn't exist by my language. Yet you haven't clarified how he exists by your language.
If he doesn't exist there there is no God and everything about him is irrelevant outside of the possibility of the placebo effect. He can't be or do anything. Saying he "just is" makes no sense whatsoever if he doesn't exist. If he doesn't exist then outside the placebo effect, He is irrelevant. To say his existence is irrelevant is to say he is... unless you're simply arguing for the placebo effect, unless you're saying that delusional possible inspiration and/or consolation is worth it?
Well said CP. The statement fr0d0 made:
