I refuse to follow a god that has placed me here with evil beings which I have no idea about. I refuse to be his slave and anyone elses slave.
God exists to everyone. He would still exist if there were no humans. Besides, here you say God exists to some, but your final conclusion is that God doesn't exist. It appears that your argument is self-contradictory.
God exists to those who desire to manifest the morality in which He represents.
That which exists is created.[/quoted] I object to that on traditional theological grounds, but also on logical ones.
Something exists therefore,
Something created it.
By inference, something created the something which created the something which exists. The argument has two places to go, as far as I can see. Either nothing exists, or there was an uncreated creator.

That which exists is created.
That which is created is born and therefore is subject to death.
That which is subject to death cannot be Absolute.
Therefore God does not exist.
That which is non-existential is Absolute.
God is Absolute.

But wouldnt that just make God the computer? A computer capable of simulating this whole universe and experience we call life would have to be described as a sentient being. It also brings up another interesting question. Who designed the computer and operating system? Regardless of how scientific we try to get in explaining reality it always brings us back to that question. Even the big bang required something to exist. There was never nothing. There was always something, and i think no matter how you cut it that something is God. The creator of all things. I think where things get sketchy is when people try to quantify God or put God into easily understood terms or try to abscribe human emotions and sentiment to an otherwise unknowable force. A computer program, a simulation, whatever you want to call it.....there are rules to this reality. Something enforces the rules, something created the rules.
