God as explained by all religions does not exist.

# At this point I feel the need to define,what is a religion? A religion is an organized collection of beliefs, cultural systems, and world views that relate humanity to an order of existence. Now there are many groups which are marked as religions but are more like a culture or 'a way of life' that is, a philosophy. They do not describe the existence of supernatural entities but define things that are morally wrong or right, the culture of a particular group of people,their traditions. Listening to rock and living by its philosophy is a way of life. They are different from religions. They teach how to live rather than who created life and how creator wants us to live life. IF A 'RELIGION' DOESNOT SPECIFICALLY EXPLAIN OR DESCRIBE CREATOR, AND FOCUSES ON HOW TO LIVE A GOOD LIFE,THEN IT IS NOT A RELIGION BUT A PHILOSOPHY. # Coming to the Shintos, Shintos do believe in 'kami' which are spirits of certain things or villages. According to shintos, all the kamis arrive from the first kami Amenominakanushi who created the Universe. http://eos.kokugakuin.ac.jp...As easy it is to discard the shinto god who created Universe, I will not waste much time on it as it is clearly nothing more than a mythological story with no evidence whatsoever. Similarly there is no proof for the existence of the spirits of things. #Now, as said before, it is not possible to disprove the gods of all religions one by one. However,there is a reason why Christian and Islam is put under a same group called RELIGION. Just like in nomenclature of animals, where organisms belonging to the same class/phylla/kingdom HAVE TO HAVE A COMMON FEATURE TO BELONG TO THE SAME GROUP,similarly there is a reason why all 'religions' religion. It is because they have some features in common, that is the existence of god and it being the creator of the universe and protecting humans. There are certain points where all religions agree (it is just that the name of the god changes) http://theharmonyinstitute.org... As for minor religions and extinct religions which might have been truly describing god which remain unknown to us, as mentioned by opponent, the first question that arises here is that HOW DID THE 'TRUE RELIGION' COME TO KNOW ABOUT THE TRUE NATURE OF GOD? The few possible explanations can be- Either they saw the true god, or they deduced the features of the true god or it was merely a lucky guess by them. (Other possible explanations are welcome) -----> If the saw the true god, how is it then that the true god stopped visiting or was not seen by any one over a period of so many years? If true god had come to give them a visit to tell them about the 'truth', why did he not tell other people of the world and only to selected people? If he had visited all people of the world (at the same or different time) NO OTHER RELIGION WOULD HAVE EXISTED AND WE WOULD BE FOLLOWING THE TEACHING OF THE TRUE GOD. Had it been that true religion had deduced the features of the true god using logical reasoning (the reasoning which is unknown to us) why did their religion became extinct or is unable to make a major impact? If they had used infallible reasoning wouldnt more and more people follow them ultimately leading to it becoming a major religion? If the description of true god by a religion is correct by lucky guess,well it may make the god true,but it does not make the religion true. Also if the guesses were correct, it would still result in explaining a true god in an infallible manner which leads to my argument in 2. Opponent - The accepted answer to this question is to allow humans the free will to make decisions for themselves. If a deity removes all suffering, then we would live perfect lives, which is the purpose of heavan. It's a way to test individuals for the character and integrity to see who should enter eternal paradise.Firstly why would god want to 'test' our characters? What do get if we 'pass' the test? According to religion it is HEAVEN right? Why does God want to gift us residence in Heaven or Hell in the first place? Just so that he can spend his time doing all these things?? This then implies again that god is depended on us and therefore NOT OMNIPOTENT [If the feature of omnipotence is not a feature of a god of a particular religion,then it proves the 'god' is nothing but merely an entity just more powerful than us] If the true god exists and he created us, how can we then say that he did not create our character too? Then who is it that created our character? If humans have free will to be 'good' or 'bad' or 'ignorant', WHO IS IT THAT GAVE HUMANS OPTIONS TO CHOOSE BETWEEN BEING GOOD, BAD OR IGNORANT? WHO CATEGORISED OUR ACTIONS AND DEEDS INTO THESE 3 GROUPS? Surely it has to be god (would love to know a different opinion of these questions)The point that I am trying to make above is that it is not possible for god to give us 100% free will. There has to be some degree of determinism done by god. This thus implies that in an indirect manner if god exists, our future is pre determined, if not by 100% Here, I once again reinforce my point that THIS PROVES THAT GOD HAS OUR FUTURE DECIDED AND IS MERELY TOYING WITH US (SHOWING THAT HE IS NOT OMNIPOTENT AS DESCRIBED BY MAJOR RELIGION,thus not god)(If the feature of omnipotence is not a feature of a god of a particular religion,then it proves the 'god' is nothing but merely an entity just more powerful than us)
