A Conversation for What is God?

In God's words...

In God's words, "I am what I am."
For some who don't believe in God, they know He is nonexistent. He can't get in their way or force them to keep unwanted obligations. . . they don't believe He can. For them, there is no God.

Others do believe in God, and know He exists. These people exult God and allow Him to obligate them to certain duties such as going to church or making offerings. To these people, God is very real and almost has an omnipotent power over their lives.

One thing for sure, God is not of this world. We can't see him, and up where God is sometimes believed to be residing is in every direction depending on where you live on this earth. If God exists, it is in another world unlike, or perhaps similar, to this one, but it is not this one. Possibly, God resides in the world of those who believe in Him, and is mearly absent from the worlds of nonbelievers.

Whatever and where ever God is, we will almost certainly never know, at least not until we die.

I see the words of an agnostic smiley - winkeye.
So, is the fact that there is no evidence of God not enough to allow us to make the decision that there is no God?
If so, then tell me this: Is the probability that God exists the same as the probability that this universe was created by a large, invisible, physically undetectable, inflatable yet intelligent monkey called Mishbubjep?

And so your well written argument falls to pieces.
UNTIL WE DIE?! The theist argument largely says that the only real way to prove God exists is to die, and your way of proving theists correct becomes obsolete. Theists have largely lost the argument when they say you must die to find out. That's the evidence is it? Die,.....and find out. From an atheist's point of view, we can give a good amount of probability to the fact that the universe was made by the big bang etc... in that we set alight, fuse together, explode two or more elements and instead of them being destroyed they make something great, like salt. Therefore were this to happen on a mindbogglingly larger scale, it's not inconceivable that it could have happened. There is my argument towards the non-existence of God.
Your argument for God rests on the fact that we have to die to find out. Great. I know i've strayed from the subject, but this is somethings that really gets me fired up for a debate, plus i've ALREADY written about the subject anyway.

(see "God...yes...well.")


I think i'll go and have a lie down now....

"I am what I am." ? Erm...excuse me but I believe it was Popeye the Sailor Man who said that, not God. You have your fictional characters mixed up...smiley - winkeye

I am what I am. . . You're right, I'm sorry, God didn't say that. . . He said (and I quote) "I am who I am." From Exodus chapter 3 verse 14 of the Bible.

But then again if He doesn't exist, He obviously didn't say that.
I see your point, though it's the Bible, not Popeye, from where the words came.
