| Aug 17, 2023 at 8:14 | comment | added | user62907 | “By God I understand a being absolutely infinite, i.e., a substance consisting of an infinity of attributes, of which each one expresses an eternal and infinite essence.” - Spinoza. This doesn’t mean universe = God. | |

| Aug 17, 2023 at 8:11 | comment | added | user62907 | God = universe isn’t a serious proposition and no one takes that definition seriously. You might as well define God = my hands, God = my legs, God = my poop. Sure, none of these can be denied, but that isn’t a concept anyone takes seriously | |

Start with the 1st: Spinoza. The universe is non existent How often would you see this view? [One could make a case for it but that would be quite a fringe viewpoint]. Then there is Native American God is not a noun/ God is a verb. Etc etc

| Aug 17, 2023 at 7:29 | comment | added | Rushi | That's necessary of course but not sufficient. There are fairly well established concepts of God for which few would deny existence. Spinoza is an extreme which I gave. There are many others. In your case, from your multiple questions against God I'm guessing your God is a personal being who created the universe. But you need spell that out | |
| Aug 17, 2023 at 7:28 | comment | added | user62907 | I agree with you but I think this is missing the point of the question. I’ll edit the question and add “assuming the concept is coherent” to it. | |
