Geoff--Since this was your second attempt, I thought you deserved at least a limited response.

To me, anyway, your message is illogical.  On one hand, you say you want to, "...reiterate my proof of the non-existence of God...." But then you go on to say that, ...He is pre-existant."  I don't think god can logically be both non-existent and pre-existent. 

Also, your statement that, "God is indeed an atheist" because "He does not exist" is a non-sequitur.  

Lastly, "...revelations from God have never violated the intellect."  Just where are these revelations?  If you are talking about the Bible, I am sure there are manys places in the Bible that you would not agree with. To the list below I would add cutting off the end of my penis.

I know you will think that I am not seeing your position in the depth it deserves. And perhaps that is true.

High IQ = Intelligence?

Donna Steadman <dab...@gmail.com>: Sep 17 09:47AM -0700 Yes, people who boast about their high IQ are suspect. I would ask this guy: "Where is the beginning point in a circle?".   -Dab

Geoff Hougland LFT <houg...@gmail.com>: Sep 18 08:06AM -0700 I thought this might be an appropriate time to reiterate my proof of the non-existence of God which I first proposed to this group a couple months ago. It did not get a response from this group at that time.   Assuming God is the uncreated, then He is the pre-existent. When God then created existence He did not create himself again and hence never entered the realm of existence.   In that message I stated that God is indeed an athiest since He knows damn well He does not exist.   All of creation is a sign of God and the preeminent sign of God are His manifestations who have established His religions from age to age. I, as a member of the Baha'i Faith, believe that Baha'u'llah, the Glory of God, is the most recent of God's manifestations. This religion started 181 years ago in 1844 and teaches that the intellect is the greatest gift of God to man and that the revelations from God have never violated the intellect. The human reality has only advanced insofar as the human intellect has advanced.   .   On Wednesday, September 17, 2025 at 10:48:07 AM UTC-6 Donna Steadman wrote:
