The first is that all gods have as an essential property
some sort of supernatural characteristic. The second is that
``supernatural'' is merely a synonym for ``really, truly,
honestly, I really really mean it, no exceptions at all,
perfectly, absolutely, impossible.''

What is a god? Are you going to define it as something that has a
supernatural characteristic?

So, yeah. No god of any type exists. Unless you'd care to offer up
how a god could still be a god without supernatural properties...?

Let's posit that there is a god who is identical the concept of love.

Let's not posit anything that isn't proven to exist.

Prove that god doesn't exist.

You prove that such a critter actually exist. There is no reason to
believe in the unproven, until such critter is proven to exist, I will
with hold belief.
