I Am An Atheist

Whether we like to believe it or not, God is an idea as far as we know. And like all ideas, we can all have our own interpretations and ways of imagining it. For example, I don't believe in God in the way the bible describes it. Instead, I believe God would be an incomprehensible force of madness that is the entirety of creation focused into a single point. I believe God was the singularity that causes the Big Bang. God was everything and that everything became everything; that everything became us. Is that a fair enough point?

If a god is incomprehensible as you state, then what allows you to make any of your statements that follow? If god were incomprehensible, you would have nothing at all to say that wasn't just fabrication from your mind.

And of what utility is a a belief in something incomprehensible, especially if that belief is used as a guide and motivation for life?

It's easy to say and talk about infinity than it is to project it into physical forms. I am able to state God as incomprehensible because God is an idea. And ideas can be impossible. Things like infinity don't exist and never will, it is impossible. But we can still talk about the idea. We can just never prove it. It's impossible, after all.

OK, infinity exists only as a concept. God exists only as a concept. Many people are more certain of the existence of a god than of infinity.

People don't live and die for the idea of infinity. The same cannot be said about the idea of a god.
--
Many people posit the existence of a god, not just the idea, with absolute certainty, even though as we agree, its existence cannot be proven. This seems odd to me.

Even gravity is not expressed by people with such certainty. It is provable, but accepted only as long as its effects are demonstrated and it cannot be falsified.
