I do understand, the question is a hypothetical one, and my answer is too.

You don't understand at all. A hypothetical question still works within the framework of logic and reason. You can't throw out assertions onto a figure you have yet to define, and then say that it answers the question. You have all your work ahead of you to demonstrate why a self-existent God is at all plausible and should be regarded as a reasonable answer to this question.

Right now, you're trying very hard to say that your answer of "he just is" is sufficient. I asked if the eternal attribute of God is at all logically possible, and you came back with "he's self-existent, so there". Zero explanatory value. Zero backup of assertions. Zero intellectual honesty.

The hypothetical question assumes the existence of god. This stands, even if you don't believe in god. Likewise, the answer stands.

Fucking DEFINE what you think God is first, before you get to any attributes. There's one thing that gets on my nerves - it's rampant willful ignorance. Please answer the question, then we'll get on to the issues with your assertion.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

Who Created God?
August 1, 2010 at 12:34 pm
Ive always thought that was an interesting question, but have yet to hear an argument.

What stance do Christians in general take on the inception of God?

Humans realised God, like happening across a diamond and naming it a "diamond".
