I am a theist, what do you think of my proof for God existing?

My concept of god is that he is merely a figment of the human imagination, on par with other fanciful non-entities such as Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. 

Shall we work from there?

On my step 1, formulation of the concept of God, Simon asserts that I am already affirming the consequent, that is patently wrong from his part.

No, it isn't wrong. You are affirming the consequent. Your first premise is the same as your conclusion. Including the word 'exists' in the conclusion does not make any difference. You are going off an assumption that your god already exists just by stating it's function. It's not that difficult to understand.

But it doesn't matter because you keep using the word 'concept'. You already know the truth: that there are no physical properties. Your concept of god lacks the necessary attributes, and is meaningless. You've lost. You've been losing since your first post.

Sounds good to Me.  Okay, Mariosep, we're going to go with the Rosie_Rivets god-concept instead of yours, as we seem to have consensus here for the "gods are imaginary" hypothesis, and no consensus for your hypothesis.

I am still waiting for Simon Moon to show up.

You see, he seems to be systematic in his comments on my proof for God existing, and complains that I do not attend to his refutation.

Now that I am into full time one on one with him, he only posted one message about his idea of me affirming the consequent is from a textbook of his.

After that post which I reacted to, telling him to think for himself and not depend on a textbook, etc., he has not shown up anymore to date.

But I will check again whether I am correct that to date he has not shown up in this thread of mine, to react to my message to him to think for himself instead of depending on a textbook.

Be back after checking again.

Ni!

Mario, please stop with this convoluted nonsense. Simply SAY WHAT YOU MEAN and quit arguing semantics. You want everyone to get lost in your world of language and quite honestly no one here is buying into it. So say what you mean or go away.
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.

It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.

Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll

Hey, this was my concept in post #164/page 17. I want some cred or I may threaten to rage quit!

Um, this thread only. In concept only with history of ideas. 

Actually I been trying to quit for awhile but keep experiencing the godfather effect.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Well, it looks like Mariosep isn't going to start from that premise, anyway. We either accept his concept or nothing at all, it seems.  Undecided
