How do you know God isn't dead?

Why don't you argue against me any more? You did in the "soul" thread, and now you've stopped. I don't understand? It was fun arguing with you. Now you just make comments that barely apply to the situation because you feel better when you insult me.

I think you already know the answer to that question Tex…

Your approach to this thread is very strong, since the OP assumes that God did exist (in order for something to be dead it must have been living by definition), you simply took one of God’s attributes (upholding His creation through His grace) and worked backwards from that to demonstrate God must therefore still be living because His creation is still being upheld. Other approaches could have also been, since belief in God requires application of God’s grace by God, we know God still lives because there are still those who believe in Him. Additionally, since the OP assumes God exists and since being eternal is by definition one of God’s attributes we know He is not dead because by definition He cannot die. The original question is rather absurd because it is inconsistent with its starting premises.

Unless it's a humorous jab at how ridiculous the whole thing is in the first place.
