Why the biblical atheist deny God exists.

Hi atheists, tell me why you deny God exists, of course you have to first define what is God.

I am Yrger the theist, 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 Why on earth would I bother to define something that doesnt exist???😷

@yrger God is a human construct. This construct has many uses. These include:

1. Explaining natural phenomena which were not understood. This use had become obsolete with the advancement is science.

2. Bringing together those with common beliefs. Excluding those that don't share this belief.

3. Justifying evil acts.

@whowasthatmaskedman Hi Whowas, you have to first know what it is before you can deny it exists.

Otherwise you are irrational and un-intelligent.

Just the same I appreciate your compliment of reading my post and writing to me.

@RosaMarie Hi RosaMarie, you have contributed a good post, thanks.

Now, let us suppose you are the human who made the God construct, the construct is a concept in your mind.

Shouldn't you being rational and intelligent go forth into the objective world outside your mind to satisfy your curiosity, to investigate whether there is an entity that corresponds to your construct i.e. concept of God?

So, I ask you what is your construct i.e. concept of God?

@yrger I have no concept of God because it does not exist. I also have a fair knowledge of history and decent social awareness. This allows me to talk about the concept of God in the abstract. The concept that is believed by some of my fellow humans. I can do this without actually believing in it. The same way I can talk about Santa Claus without believing in him.
