I don't even know what God is; many different people give me many different descriptions of this phenomenon, and since nobody seems to know what they're talking about (because nobody agrees), I am forced to conclude that there is no God. It's just a made up "thing", one that I have absolutely no use for.

So you have concluded the non-existence of something even though you don't even know what it is that you think you've proven the non-existence of?

That makes a lot of sense.

No, I've concluded that God isn't real (partly) because nobody knows what it is.


And that's why I asked you, WTF is God!!! :confused:

You made the claim that God doesn't exist, and saying "I don't know what it is and no one can agree on it" is not a disproof of anything.

So you want me to claim that I know that something exists, even though neither I or anybody else knows what that something is?

No, you claimed that God does not exist. And i asked for proof, and you said you didnt even know what "God" means, or is supposed to imply. So i'm asking how you can be sure something doesn't exist if you don't even know what you're supposed to disprove.

I can't be sure that it doesn't exist, and I can't be sure that it does exist. I can't be sure about anything, really, but I am logically inclined to believe that it doesn't exist.

God is just a phenomenon that is talked about between humans; nobody knows what it is, and nobody can explain what it is. Logic denotes that God is made up, much like everything else in the book called The Holy Bible.

No actually, you are not logically inclined to believe that God doesn't exist because you cannot logically prove or disprove the existence of God. See: Appeal to ignorance, Appeal to unqualified Authority, etc.

I wasn't born with knowledge of God, I didn't create this idea, it is a phenomenon that is talked about by many of the humans on this planet, which by the way were also not born with the knowledge of God, and were also born into an environment where many of the other humans talked about it.


Santa Claus, Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny. Need I even mention these characters? Need I conduct a philosophical investigation regarding their existence? :justdontknow:

How do you conclude that if Santa Claus doesn't exist that God does not exist?

They are essentially the same thing; just a made up, apparently unfalsifiable phenomenon.

Are you referring to the prima facie case? In this case, Poid presented that God does not exist. I did not present the idea that God does exist. Poid offered no evidence, so I dismissed his case without evidence.

There is no way to prove or disprove the existence of God because no one on earth has access to God

"There is no way to prove or disprove the existence of God because no one on earth has access to God"

WTF is God? :confused:


By mentioning "access to God", you are claiming that there is a God.

You can't prove the nonexistence of Santa Clause, therefore, I will continue to believe in Santa Clause and dismiss your case without evidence.

I don't understand why you keep insisting that I define God when you're the one who asserted that God doesn't exist. The affirmative has to define the terms that he/she is using. AKA That's on you, buddy.

No, I am not claiming it, that would be implying it. And what I meant was that no one can prove the existence of god because no one has access to god and no one can disprove the existence of god because they have no access to any information pertaining to the existence or nonexistence of god
