First thing we need to is to define our terms so we know what we are looking for. Unfortunately no one can define what a god is. Not in terms that are useful and make any sense. So by (lack of) definition, a god cannot exist.

I agree that we shouldn't think much on things like "Does God exist?". But to say that something doesn't exist because we can't define it sounds ilogical . It's likr saying , the things that we can perceive with our unevolved minds are the only things that exist.( I'm not reffering just to God)

It's not saying that something with the characteristics of a god does not exist, but specifically what they think of God does not exist because all it is is a nebulous concept.
If they try defining their god then it ceases to be God. It then becomes an alien, or a pattern of energy and matter subject to physical laws or more likely logically inconsistent and therefore impossible. The concept of God is a placeholder for where there is ignorance. It's the equivalent of here be dragons.

For me the purpose of God is not the of telling bedside storys , or helping in all our minuscule tasks, or to give us scientifical knowledge . People should start assuming responsability and take the problems in their own hands .

Gods are the way people rationalize selfishness. "The whole universe WAS built just for me!"

God was never the problem.

Couldn't have said it better myself. It's people all the way down.

For the purpose of dividing things into the categories of "things we know" and "things we don't know", this is correct. What are you suggesting? Are you suggesting that we slot things that "might be true" into the category of things known? We can only build upon our senses and the capacity of our minds. The rest is pointless speculation.

It's more like saying we shouldn't believe in things we just make up from our imaginations. If they actually exist, it's just a coincidence. I don't know for a fact and can't prove that glowing red goats with tails like kangaroos and wheels instead of hooves don't exist somewhere in the universe, but that's not a good reason to think they do. In fact, it's a terrible reason to think they do.
