No. I'm saying god doesn't exist and presenting poistive arguments to back up my claim.
But I cannot seem to lay a finger on your god, every time I throw a (metaphorical) punch he disappers in vapour only to reappear as an abstract concept who stands, above, beyond all of this etc. I am naturally suspicious of transendance as it doesn't seem to mean anything to me. We do not know of anything transcending anything unless it is purely abstract.
I cannot reconcile this god with any of the foundational writings nor pronouncements of the initators of the main moonotheisms. God is right their with his incantations, initiating evetrything, pulling strings, directing traffic. Frodo is your conept of god really a theistic one? You cant hide him forever. Who is he?, what is he?, what is he made of? what arguments do you put forward for his existence?
