Hi all atheists, DocSavage has not yet replied to my post below.*
In the meantime, what detail would you any atheist like to discuss with me on my description (as follows next) of the entity which is the ultimate source of all instances of existence with a beginning.
"Something exists which is the permanent self-existent container of all things not iself (the something), and is the creator and operator of man and the universe and everything that is not that something itself." -Yrger

Hi Doc, you say:
"But, you are obviously unwilling to discuss that little detail, aren’t you ?"
You see the text at the top, what detail would you like to discuss with me?

I know where and what I orginated from:
"Something that is the permanent self-existent container of all things, and the creator and operator of man and the universe and everything that is not itself."
Actually, there are plenty of you, who believe that the universe was created be some eternal being , with no beginning or end. Some of you even give him a name , Allah, Vinishu, Yahweh, etc. You are hardly original in your beliefs. You are also, very evasive on details. Earlier I asked you what features your god has. You never gave me an answer.
Why, for example dose god have to be “ permanent” ?
Once the mechanism is started, is god need to keep it going ?
Was the universe designed with a purpose in mind ?
In what manner dose god “ operate “ mankind ?
Assuming, god’s methods aren’t mechanical, how did he get his powers ?
It seems unlikely that such a being could himself be “unplanned”
You’re very confident that your concept of god is sensible, but as I stated before, an self aware, intelligent creator god, is completely impractical.
But, you are obviously unwilling to discuss that little detail, aren’t you ?
