What is god? How do we define god? Just because we can’t see it does that mean it does not exist?
I don't understand your question. WHAT is this gawd sound about ? How would any Atheist define a gibberish alleged word ? Is this a title ? A plural word like deer ? Is this a verb ? I see gravity in action observing planets moons our star and falling objects but I have never observed your alleged thing nor read a rational person define the alleged IT .....???
If someone tells you they have a dog and yet they have no food and water bowls or hair anywhere in the house, no dog poo in the back yard and not so much of a foot print anywhere near or in the house, would you be much impressed by their claim that they have a dog?
If a thing makes no impression in this world, what would it much matter if there was a dog?
Of course gods do not exist. Men made up invisible deities to control people.
As an atheist since age 13, I chose rational thinking, not magical beliefs.
I don't believe in Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy or imaginary gods.
I hear the tumbleweeds are attacking over there? Hwy 240?
No tumbleweeds in Wenatchee in winter.
Atheism is true and correct because Bible God does not exist. "God is Love" 1John 4:8 But Bible God endorses slavery, polygamy, genocide, and the murder of Heretics and Homosexuals. Bible God treats women as 2nd class citizens, and he is prejudiced against the handicapped. God intends to burn Billions in Hell for all eternity. This is not love. "God is love" is contradicted by the above mentioned unloving actions. Therefore God does not exist and Atheism is true and correct

On the basic premise that we need some sort of evidence to believe in the existence of anything, then the answer to the question you pose is No. There is evidence that the earth is 4.5 billion years old, latest evidence dates earliest man at around 2.9 billion years and since earliest times he has been looking for evidence of a creator. In all that length of time no evidence has been found (or put another way, god has not revealed himself to man in any tangible way), then in all laws of probability I believe it’s a logical conclusion to arrive at, that he is merely a figment of man’s imagination.
Why bother asking this in a group of agnostics and atheists? Pointless.
I have, in my garage a Dragon which has been there since time began.
Only I, and my followers can see it.
Prove me wrong!
i don't believe you. what color is it? your garage?! dragons are HUGE!
@larsatrg I can't talk about it , unless you are a paid member of my following. Nineteen bucks a month, gets you nothing.
(its a magic baby dragon, and its transparent)
@PondartIncbendog wait. don't you mean TWO dragons? how else would they exist? with the ark and all.
transparent is a nice touch. still. l think he'd a woke a neighbor. no accidents in since the beginning of time sounds a little utopian. and... house wasn't there that long. makes no sense. too much doubt to even look up your cult. good day.
@larsatrg Garage smells funny..........
@PondartIncbendog i imagine. dragons gonna be dragons. and in the house since the beginning of time? holy shit let that bugger out. one pissed off dragon? on the other hand wait, again holes... this would be one docile dragon. what is the point of a limp dragon? i mean how did it evolve from then to your house as its legit reside? or did we encroach its habitat? one lone dragon in your garage? not even on the ark. seriously? $19? cmon man. transparent? i give you nineteen dollars and you tell me you're the only one to've seen it. not my first dragon.
Take note of the site that you are on. You're beating a dead horse.
Does Santa exist?
What is Santa? How do we define Santa? Just because we can't see it does that mean it does not exist?
Why are you asking a group that professes not to have a belief in a god if one exists? Why would they be able to define something that they don't believe exists? These questions seem silly in the context of this group. Why aren't you asking people who actually believe one exists?
Great questions... It's pointless.
“God” is a man made construct and is not real. Humans have used this construct to control other humans. It is all a LIE!!!!
Of course god exists. How do you think you got here!
Our cats are convinced that they are gods.
If something can't be seen, touched tasted, smelled, heard, or confirmed on any level down to the microrcellular or even subatomic then for all intents and purposes, no, it does not exist. God, for example, meets all of that criteria.
God does not exist.
No evidence to support the assertion of any supernatural phenomenon, ergo nonexistent unless actual evidence is uncovered.
You've hit the nail on the head with "How do we define god?" Can't really answer whether God exists whilst the definition of God remains so vague. Spinoza offered a Pantheist definition where God simply equates to the material universe. Does the material universe exist? You'd have to be pretty far down the Cartesian rabbit hole to doubt that. I live my life as if Spinoza's God exists though I would typically choose different labels. On the other hand, I absolutely reject the amount of sophistry required to reconcile the Catholic view of God with observation and reason.
Of course it exists, in your mind. It is whatever you want to think it is due to indoctrination from your parents, the religion you were raised on, society around you, etcetera. It is called brainwashing. Now, if you only open your mind to accept the fact that all gods were created by men due to their inability to explain things men didn't know or feared, like death or thunder for example, and you use reason, logic and common sense to ask yourself where is the evidence for the existence of one?, you will realize that you were spoon fed bullshit, fear and stuff that is so illogical and unscientific that it doesn't stand any serious analysis of existence. Up to you to get rid of the blindfold.
No see, no exist
No love?
@skado
In genesis “god” regrets his creation, so no love.
More like a “god hates use”.
@Wildgreens
You believe in God?
