These arguments are pointless. God absolutely does not exist. My definition of God is "a nothing that never was something and never existed." Therefore, God (by the definition) does not exist. God is the greatest of all things and nothing imaginable is greater than God. Nothing imaginable can do a greater feat than God. Nothing and absolutely nothing is more amazing than God. Something existing and creating the universe is amazing; however, even more amazing is nothing creating the universe. So again, God is nothing and never existed. If God did exist, the imagined nothing that never existed creating the universe would be more amazing than God. That is impossible because God is the most amazing.
The point is that these arguments depend on the definition of God. Some God definitions are easily knocked down by empirical research. Other definitions of God are pounded down by philosophical arguments. Other definitions of God are so abstract and so esoteric and so untouchable that such a God is not god at all as far as have any philosophical or practical or detectable impact on our daily lives. In my opinion, the best arguments for atheism and a summary of arguments for and against the existence of God is George Smith's "Atheism: The Case Against God."

That is more than a simple lack of belief. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Memphis Freethought Alliance" group.
