Your # 1 ignores the multitude of other things that believers attribute to God. Your definition of “God” would allow an other-universe alien no smarter than us who unknowingly and accidentally created the universe as part of a quantum mechanics experiment to qualify as “God”. That’s not a definition of God most believers would accept; it’s not what the vast majoirty of people mean when they use the word.
And yes, you can come up with a more plausible version of God if you redefine the term enough, but so what ? At that point you are talking about something else, but using the same word. You might as well claim that shoes will let you fly, by redefining a “shoe” as anything a body part goes into and calling an airplane a shoe.
Yes, I did intentionally leave out any other God-like attributes commonly associated with a single deity. This was to keep the discussion broad based rather than identified specifically with Islam, Christianity, Judaism, etc. But the major conflict most atheists have with the idea of God (in my experience only) is the idea that the universe was created by single entity; not if that entity is technically an “alien”, if it loves us, if it speaks to us, or if it has a beard, etc. Perhaps this is not the case for many others. But the argument is the same.
And my intention was not to make an argument for the existence of a particular idea of God or who God is, but to point out the emotional bias and logical flaw in your previous statements (which I notice you did not address).
In other words, you want to talk about something completely different than the subject of this thread.
No, it’s not. In the case of gods people actually believe in, we are speaking of entities that tend to be logically contradictory, violate known physical laws, and whose behavior contradicts what their followers say their purpose is. If you are simply talking about whether the universe was created by a single entity, with no other details, you are simply talking about something we have no way of knowing and can’t really say anything about. And an idea that very few people actually buy into, and has no real effect on the world.
I didn’t address it because you are trying to create a wholly different conversation. You didn’t point out any logical flaws, you are talking about something else.
