>God is real.
Where did he come from?
>He created himself.
To be self-creating is a contradiction. For it, by definition, cannot be the case that something which does not exist performs an action that has consequences upon the world. Any object that performs an action which produces consequences must exist, else there is no object to produce those consequences. Otherwise we are willing to say that an object which does not exist can affect the existent world, which is absurd.

Theists would have us believe that God simultaneously exists and does not exist. As I have shown, for him to be created he must exist. But he does not exist - hence, he has to be created. But for something to create something - have an effect upon the existent world - it must exist.

God is a contradiction, and contradictions cannot be true. QED God is not real.
