argh, it doesn't matter. We need to stop thinking of god as a personified being, God is an idea, an abstraction, a title for a set of phenomena.
I don't need to prove the existence of an idea or a name, it is there. |

So your god's existence is self-evident. |

You're sounding like a dude who smoked a joint late night in a forest, and started thinking "hey how the did we, like, end up here and ?"
ie, a slightly more coherent ********. |

my "god" isn't a deity, "God" is just a label that is convenient to use for certain things that us humans have problems comprehending. You don't need to worship it or ask it to heal you or any like that. We are focusing too much on the god thing, its just a label, a signal word.
If I make up a word, any word, I don't need to supply logical proof that the word I made up exists, all I gotta do is write it down, and declare that it is a word.
This isn't some revolutionary concept here, think, if you are the dude that is writing the bible, and you have to explain the whole ing universe to a bunch of people, for every question you can't answer clearly, just plop the word "God" in there and you're done.
The difference is, that my religion allows people to do this as they wish rather than force everyone to follow the same labeling and configuration. |

so what exactly will your religion be achieving that secular atheism hasn't already done? |

Yeah, but you have yet to prove the positive.
Carry on. |

That's why I said, "Something called faith" in an earlier post. |
