>Atheist arguments:
>God is mean
>If god real why bad things happen

God is Azathoth.
Attending church on Sundays would make the blind, mumbling and insane Nuclear Chaos listen to your prayers and love you, yes-yes.
If you pray, this Thing will suspend the laws of physics in your favor, yes-yes. You are SPESHUL.
If the Originator of the Universe exists, then some 2000 ethics/morality prescription book is true, because you have won the Magical Lottery Ticket.
Providence implies reverse transmission of information through time, therefore, time-travel exists.

>Occasionalism
>pick up the Quran.
Prove to me that *your* God is God, and not lovecraftian Azathoth, the Nuclear Chaos.
Prove to me that designating the tolerated uncertainty as "God", implies doing what *your* set of instructions tells you to do.

>Mind in a broader sense. If he doesn't have it, he is a robot popping out conscious beings and something for them to live in,
>How would he make something he fundamentally lacks
How would the Pain/Suffering cause your mental development, if the Pain is not sentient itself? Yeah...

>cosmological argument from contingency
Would you call lovecraftian Azathoth, the Blind Idiot, the Nuclear Chaos, a god?

>doesn’t make God into an insentient robot

Sentience is overrated. You don't need it to solve shit.

>bliss and glory
Non-existent placeholders for words, that don't really mean shit.
>of his own Godly infinitude
"Infinitude" is like "a hole". When you try to describe a hole, you describe what its surroundings are not.
It's akin to saying that the Sun arises in the East and sets in the West. What does it even mean, when you are dealing with heliocentric model?
Errors of perception help you solve local problems, but that doesn't mean they really exist.

>If he doesn't have a human mind, then how would he create a human mind? You're back to creating something from nothing
If a magician doesn't create matter out of nothing, how the hell does he pull a coin out of your ear? Via ignorance. Via NEGLECT.
You merely delude yourself into thinking you are sentient, while in fact you're no different from a computer. Because it has always been computationally cheaper to solve things using as little info as possible => i.e. ignoring as much as possible.

Why get access to another ape's neurons, when you can roughly deduce it from some facial cues? You are constructed similarly enough, just emulate it.
Why check the bushes for predators, when you can correlate the shapes for signs of danger? Hail vague abstractions, cave-wall images and literacy.
Of course, the side effect is that you start to see fucking faces in the clouds, and attribute to your hallucinations the same intentional apparatus, that you successfully used to solve another ape's behaviours. Gods WANT something, gods have GLORY, etc. Because if a robot has a smiling face, he's actually really happy, yes-yes.

>You're back to creating something from nothing
You have created money out of nothing. Why assume that these colored papers are anything of worth, and not toilet paper? But since you do, you are acting out the same routines as others do, effectively merging into hivemind. Ignorance is constructive. Neglect creates. Lies are necessary for your survival.
