Existence of God. Can debate satisfy atheist ?

So what do think ?

I think that the notion of a cause of the universe makes no sense at all. Causality only makes sense within the universe and when physical laws exist. In particular, the notion of a 'creator' of the universe is one that I think is literally nonsense.

The word 'God' is the name of a mythological being. Sort of like 'Sherlock Holmes' is the name of a fictional being.

The word 'God' has, of course, changed over time as languages change. Other languages have other words for the same (I believe) fictional character. If people called that character 'Fred', then that is the name I would use.
I don't think of "god" as a name. It is an umbrella term for all gods.
Zeus, Mars, Tyr, YHVH, Allah, those are names.

I don't think the universe was created. I don't think it was caused. In fact, I think that 'cause' only makes sense within the universe.
Look.. at the same time you used both the words.. don’t think, and think.

This is what called human have NO control over imaginations.

You ask so many questions in God threads.


That’s just the opposite questions that you create every time using the pattern of original question.


You create so many god threads,

It is precisely the same question. That you don't understand that says much about you understanding of atheism

Of course I do.And what does what I think is true have to do with what I imagine?

It is thought that the physical laws (including causality) did not coalesce until a finite time after the universe began.

So yes a cause cannot make sense before cause
