I don't believe in God
By the word, 'God', Christians, when we say that God exists, are referring to the eternally-existing, personal Creator of mankind. By the word, 'God', are you referring to the same? (But then, why wouldn't you be, inasmuch as you were, after all, addressing Christians when you said, "I don't believe in God"?)
To exist eternally is to exist. Since the eternally-existing, personal Creator of mankind exists eternally, the eternally-existing personal Creator of mankind exists. So, by the word, 'God', Christians are referring to the personal Creator of mankind Who exists. When Christians affirm that God exists, we are affirming a tautologous proposition: '[The personal Creator of mankind Who exists] exists.' That tautology, being a tautology, cannot but be true.
So, if, when you say "I don't believe in God", by the word 'God', you are referring to Whom Christians are referring by the word 'God' when we say "God exists", then you are saying "I don't believe in [the personal Creator of mankind Who exists]".
One must flagrantly rebel against rational thinking in order to be able to, keeping a straight face, say one or more of the following, three, bullet-pointed things:
- "I don't believe in [the personal Creator of mankind Who exists]"
- "I don't believe that [the personal Creator of mankind Who exists] exists"
- "[The personal Creator of mankind Who exists] does not exist"
One of the most idiotic, irrational things anybody could ever do is to try to deny, or even to try to simply refuse to believe, a tautology.
Zeus makes the rain fall
Whom (if anyone) or what (if anything) are you calling "Zeus"? To what (if any) person, place, or thing are you referring by the word "Zeus"?
(It's not necessary, you know, that just because you say the word 'Zeus', you are referring to someone or something by it; it's not a given that you're not just making meaningless noise by saying the string of words, "Zeus makes the rain fall".)
Shiva maintains balance in the universe
Whom (if anyone) or what (if anything) are you calling "Shiva"? To what (if any) person, place, or thing are you referring by the word "Shiva"?
(It's not necessary, you know, that just because you say the word 'Shiva', you are referring to someone or something by it; it's not a given that you're not just making meaningless noise by saying the string of words, "Shiva maintains balance in the universe".)
None of them are real. At least, it seems reasonable to me to conclude this. Whether or not I'm wrong, doesn't that seem like a reasonable conclusion to you?
Please display for us the premise(s) which you imagine necessarily entail(s) that the eternally-existing, personal Creator of mankind, Who is called YHWH, and Who is real, is not real. Let's find out if the phrase, "Vulcan Logic", has anything, whatsoever, to do with logic.
Nanu, nanu!
