I think that God spells Dog backwards and vice versa.

This here by John Locke just says it all. Especially the first six points.

Hmmm, I can't quite place my finger on it, but I find those points invalid. Particularly #3.

If a being cannot be created from "nothing", then there must obviously have been a being there to make it? That's so, so basic... and it creates paradoxes. The reasoning there is that humans can't just "be"... because we are humans, and we weren't just kind of here ("proven" at birth). Therefor, there must be something greater which made us. Case closed, right? Ahem... And what created that special something? Why would it be able to create itself while life has the inability to create itself? Why would the greater being create a life that "needs creations"? If it's impossible to understand something, how can you claim it is absolute?

Oh well, not my problem right now. I'm just going to "be".

I don't see what's so hard to imagine that there is something out there that just isn't perceptible to humans that is more powerful than us. The concept of infinity is known and understood in mathematics, but just can't exist in the case of a God?

Bad example, come up with something more reasonable and I may argue. Infinity is a word that defines a proven situation, God is a term used to describe a belief of the creation of life. Infinity = Proven, God = not.

Believe me when I say this though, while I may doubt the existance of God, I do believe it does exist slightly more than I believe it doesn't. The "concept" is EASY to understand. A child could understand that, as well as someone of even less intelligence.

And what created that special something?

I don't see what's so different about God and infinity.
No beginning and no end, is attributed to both.
Do you need to know what created him to believe in him? Do you need to know when he was born, and his approximate lifespan?
A perfect example to me is like trying to measure the distance from east to west. It just never ends.

Numbers 3 and 4 seem to make the most sense to me.
Things just can't pop out of the air. They have to come from something. Like the old chicken and egg argument. Which came first? Why does it matter? How did it get there?


Maybe this doesn't make sense to you but it makes perfect sense to me.

Why can your god be infinite or have "popped out of the air" but the elements wich our universe is made of, can't?

Well sure I voted but that doesn't mean I'd like everyone to see it. I should have checked to see if the results were public or not i guess.
