TalSh's answer was a good one. Respectful and moving in the right direction.

I'd go further though and state categorically that there is no god. Why?

Scientific: Occam's razor - god is a an additional complication and un-necessary extension to the assumptions required to explain the world as we find it.

Moral: Belief in god has been the single greatest cause of human misery in the world. Any god worth the name would be ashamed to exist.u

Psychological: Every issolated tribe has felt the need to invent god as TalSh says. But this points to the psychological human need for authority and for meaning. The fact that the forms of these invetions of god are as diverse as the inventors supports a view that god does not exist.

Logical: God is the answer to the question "what is the meaning of life". But that question makes no sense. Meaning is a human construct. Why should life have meaning? If you insist that it does have meaning, then god is the only answer. The question pre-supposes the answer.

Subjective Reality: God does exist. We all have a part of our inner being that is pure, sane to whom we turn in crisis. Each of us has his own god, who is omnipotent in our own lives. But let's not make the mistake of externalising this entity and then start forcing others to believe in him. Along this road lies George Bush.
