As set forth by theologians, the idea of 'God' is an argument that assumes its own conclusions, and proves nothing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
God is not a hypothesis derived from logical assumptions, but an immediate insight, self-evident as light. He is not something to be sought in the darkness with the light of reason. He is the light.
It connects with the theologians' point that you can say what God is not, but not (easily) what He is.
Believing that there is no God does not mean that there isn't one.
God is a being who is himself the cause of his own existence. His prerogative is to perceive before there was anything to be perceived. He is the creator of the universe; He operated upon nothing and turned it into something.
If God exists, what objection can he have to saying so?
If God is One, and if there can be no other God, there can be no idea of God.
It seems obvious to me that the notion of God has never been anything but a kind of ideal projection, a reflection upward of the human personality, and that theology never has been and never can be anything but a more and more purified mythology.
If there is no God, then man sometimes thinks he is god, and sometimes tries to live like a god.
God is a metaphor for that which transcends all levels of intellectual thought. It's as simple as that.
Nobody talks so constantly about God as those who insist that there is no God.
