Bluster is all you have, Rhythm. You seem to think people don't notice that the "Who created God?" is a complete and total non-sequitur. In order to defeat a logical demonstration it must be shows either that one or more of the premises are not true or that the form of the syllogism is faulty. That particular retort does neither.

More unsupported assertions on your part. Please show how any of the demonstrations of the 5 Way support a conclusion that anything other than the God of Classical Theism exists.
You can't because they don't. And as far as I can remember, you have never tried to refute the 5 Ways.But fine...you seem to believe that the lamest of lame objections are conclusive.
