Default Re: Logical proof for the existence of God

[ QUOTE ]
the atheists premise is that GOD DOES NOT EXIST IN THE EXTERNAL WORLD, but only as an concieved entity in people's minds.

[/ QUOTE ]
One of the things that always gets me mad about common and dictionary definitions of atheism is they aren't correct. An athiest is a person without a belief in god, God, gods, or divinity. It's purely semantic, but has some important implications.

There are of course hard atheists that state GOD DOES NOT EXIST. However proofing something doesn't exist is impossible and a waste of time. Unless it's something like a square cirlce.

The discripancy between what is atheism is and what it thought to be causes the arguement that without God there can be no Good and Evil. However Good and Evil are ideas, they are certainly elusive and never perfect. But truth can be gleamed form unknowable ideals, in this case a absolute morality. In addition to being great plot lines for stories and movies, absolute Good and Evil can be used to determine implication for correct actions.
