God

No.

>God requires faith to exist
Explain

>proof of existences destroys faith.
"Faith" and "belief" are two translations of the same Greek word.

>omnipotent deities obeying rules

Rules are only for people. Gods laugh at them. This was Plato's critique of the popular depictions of the gods, the gods behaved with impiety, but he was the impious one to question the natural order of things.

Only kike god, kek is only fed by belief, kikelord dies without memes

. Being as how the last bastion of the debate is in philosophy, God as a concept only exists because people keep talking about him.

No faith = no mention of God

>>1314173
Whether or not the concept of God exists in philosophy has zero bearing on the existence of God himself.

Considering the total absence of physical proof or probability.
OP's statement reminds of Nietzsche's version of the Chicken or the egg.

>1. Without God, humans are deprived of absolute values or eternal truths.
>2. Absolute values and eternal truths rely upon the existence of God.

>God requires faith to exist

Huh

>>1314173
But often people who have no faith believe in some sort of God ( often not a scriptural one) on the strength of the evidence they see for such a belief. Atheists who had no faith in God also consider the merits and demerits of arguments for God's existence with one another and end up talking about it, and not just in debates against theists.

That's also like saying that dinosaurs didn't exist until we started talking about them, its just plain wrong.

You mean

>Assuming the total absence of physical proof or probability.

There is a allot of literature you need to read through before you can make a claim like that.

>>1314338
Not really. There's not a single thing about the universe which requires the God factor.

>>1314360
More like everything requires God, since everything other than God is contingent, and what is contingent does not have existence except insofar as it derives ultimately from a necessary being.

No.

>>1314467
More like you make the claim that reality is contingent, and you say therefore, there must be a being that is also contingent to match it. Literal speculation. So is our current mix of quantum theory and relativity, but they've got more than a few abstract similarities going for them.
