Reasons for the belief in no God

What are your reasons for believing that there is no God? I don't want you to prove a negative, I want you to give me a reasonable argument that shows there is not logical possibility for God.

Raising another RF members complaint as point one for this discussion:

Define God.

Horrible reasoning, without any elaboration. Mere generalization lacking specifics, hardly a coherent foundation from which to base such a belief.

I assume you're an avid believer of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, then? :fsm:

If we define God, we assume He exists. You have silently admitted as much if you take this route.

No you don't. The opposite, in fact: you don't have a coherent idea of whether something exists unless you define it.

If you are arguing for the non existence of something, why define it and give it existence in that regard?

Doesn't matter, any god, pick one. So again... What is your reasoning not to believe in God?

You still haven't defined god. What does "any" god mean? Please define what you're talking about. I don't know what you mean by "god." It's a useless label until you define it.

Can't you guys use a dang dictionary to satisfy your question, instead of harping on this same point?

a : the Being perfect in power, wisdom, and goodness who is worshipped as creator and ruler of the universe http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/god

Ok, you started the thread and you expect us to do your homework for you? I don't define god, I let the people who believe in one define it. Then I tell them why I don't believe in that god.

So again, why don't you believe in transcendent being such as God? What logical reasoning is there?
