If that would be the case, then the problem of atheists would just be a matter of atheist prejudice and pride, just technicalities and wording ... vanity, IMO.

If there are aliens in another dimension who created this world, and would we know and why should we care? Are you now going to add more conditions to these aliens to give them more significance?
Not unless such a god could be shown to exist. To the atheist your god has no more standing than Zeus, Odin, or the One Above All.

Yes. It appears that you are trying to shoehorn God-belief in via this alien analogy. My questions address your premise with that in mind. Do you have any answers?

I opened a topic with a question. Can you answer it or not?
I was not talking about God, but about a supposed alien who created this dimension. Is that too difficult to think for an atheist mind?Miles wrote: ↑Thu Feb 09, 2023 5:41 pmNot unless such a god could be shown to exist.

"The most powerful deity and cosmic entity in any comic book universe, the One Above All is the embodiment of the unknowable concept of the transcendent other. The One Above All is the one who jump-started reality as we know it. His omnipresence is beyond understanding. The One Above All created whatever rules govern the cosmos and the ethereal entities that run them."

For atheists it isn't a matter of what a god could or did do, but whether his existence can be proven, and so far nada for any god.

When you say, for example, that the aliens I am talking about are "my alien creators" you are personalizing. Please, answer the topic without personalizing it.

All the problems associated with your God as creator apply to your alien beings as creator, so why should I regard them as any different?
