God is a construction of faith. If one needs to explain it with logic, they've not only lost that argument, but have also shown their lack of faith. It's like a fisherman trying to convince a hunter that the best way to catch a fish is with a bear trap.
It depends on circumstances that a person borns in and grows up
A person that has been told that evolution has done everything or u need to bring some material evidences for existence of God Needs logical arguments

Good point. You can't expect somebody shielded from rationality to think rationally.

Yes but we try to make them familiar with or at least reject ours

I just wanted to show them they shouldn't think we blindly believe in God

There are some other logical arguments that are hard to translate

Make an explanation to explain what difference between vicious circle and closed circle
A vicious circle is a dynamic process where repeated interactions give us in increasingly worse results.

A closed cycle (in the sense that I used the expression) is a purely abstract construct that does not necessarily correspond to anything that exists in reality.
is then reject my claim by logical arguments not by claiming it's not logical.

I already pointed out that your premises contradict each other. That will have to be enough for you.

In my experience, nobody, from their perspective, blindly believes in anything. That's why I always look at their arguments from an impartial view, only reviewing the substance of what they say.

At heart, I'm an eternal optimist, hoping to find some compelling evidence of magic or god, so I'm open to any and all evidence and arguments. Unfortunately, it tends to boil down to the same few tired, unsupportable arguments. Sadly/comically, most people presenting them don't even know that they have been thoroughly debunked debates, or centuries ago.

What a shame!

1. Everything that is created needs a cause
2. Everything that exist either is possible existent or necessary one

3. All of them can't be possible existents because of impossibility of infinite regress and vicious circle

4. So there Must be an existent that isn't possible and is necessary and isn't created by anything else

Till now I proved that necessary existent must exist even I didn't prove that it should be one or two or unlimited or....


Reject my claims using simple words

Regarding point #4:

Let's say that 'Existence itself is necessary'. How would you reply to that ?
Not the existence of everything, but rather the existence of something/anything.

Shia philosophers have discussed this in a best way .
Yes u r true if u consider the existence itself god and consider us as shadows

They say the concept of existence is مشکک which means it has some degrees from poor and weak to intense like the light of sun and the light of candle

According to this view existence is necessary and is unlimited too because non existent doesn't exist at all so existence itself is eternal . There is no limitations in existence but this existence isn't material and we can discover that this existence can't be two or three since it's unlimited
And we can say that this existence will never die because existence can't turn to non existent because non existent doesn't exist and....

But for atheists that have problems with causality we can't use it

I don't consider 'the existence itself as god' though.

What do you mean by 'problems with causality' ?

How do you tell whether something was created?
We imagine all things and discuss generally
We consider all possibilities and by rejecting some of them we prove the others
For example when we proved infinite regress is impossible we have no choice but to prove an existent that is out of chains of possible existents

Do you have anything beyond Islamic confirmation bias to support the claim that Allah must be the Uncaused Cause?

Except you haven't proven infinite regress is impossible; you've just shown that you've dismissed it because it's an inconvenient unmoving stumbling block to your claims. By your logic since I've considered & rejected monotheism that must mean polytheism is true.

This existent is a creator of everything so is omniscient and omnipotent too because he is unlimited and has every perfections

Besides some atheists here don't accept causality and say it's unproven and u should bring evidence on that or it's metaphysics

I don't see any reason to believe in any of that.

I am not sure I understand what you mean by this. Are you talking about causality in the sense of the universe being created ?
