If a god made everything, where was he before anything existed? (heaven or "another plane of existance" is no answer because that would be part of "everything")
If someone made God then HE is God. Because there is no one greater than God.

Try to google *infinite regress*, and when you think you have found the answer to that problem you may want to google *special pleading* and why that is bad reasoning.

So it's gods all the way down?

Plenty of people are greater than god when they realize they could do better by the world with that kind of omnipotence.

However, since god is a mere fictional concept, reality is much greater than god.

Its so difficult to argue with an atheist when all your evidence is based on something they don't even believe in.
Wouldn't you want there to be a God?

Oh shit. Did you just say evidence.... out come the pitchforks
"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

It's hard evidence to me, even if its all theoretical to you.

He created the snake, yes. I don't know why but I can only guess. I can't pretend to know. But as they say, He has a plan.

Jealous, not selfish.

I feel like you're new to this. It's never a good idea to witness on an atheist forum, but if you have to do it, please study your material properly first and then come witness.

Sure thing. I really hope you're all wrong about this. because it's scary to think that we're doing all this living for nothing

If we were in Ancient Greece, you’d be asking me “don’t you want there to be a Zeus?”

And the answer is no, because men create monstrous gods in order to better deal with the atrocities of life where justice is not always met out to the bad people. In all honesty, I’d rather wish superheroes were real, because their code is above any god’s.

You keep using that word.

I do not think it means what you think it means.

So god made god? how does that even make sense?
