Hi atheists, how do you define existence?

On the issue God exists or not, before anything else all humans must concur on what is existence.

I am theistic and I define existence as reality.

What about you atheists, how do you define existtence?

Hi zonavar68, sorry but I am not talking about God as painted in the Bible.

I am talking about God as I know Him by reasoning.

There are three ways man knows God exists.

1. By reasoning
2. By reading the Bible (or the Koran for Muslims)
3. By meditation

I know God exists by num 1 i.e. reasoning.

In a few words, it goes like this:

1. We did not create ourselves.
2. Our parents brought us into existence.
3. Our parents were brought into existence by their parents.
4. This series of parents giving birth to their children could not have started without ultimately God bringing them all into existence.
5. Therefore God exists.

And here is my definition of God:
"God is the permanent self-existent spirit creator and operator of man and the universe and everything transient."

@yrger god as painted in the Bible is a totally man.made concept. God is neither male or female and cannot be assigned a human gender type. God's gender pronouns would be sky/fairy.
