Why don't you believe in a god?

I don't believe in a God, because i can't believe in a all powerful, all knowing perfect being that creates.

Creation is a act of challenge, to create something new, something better, something that has not been done before.

A perfect being would not create anything, it is all knowing, the moment it just thinks about creating it already knows how it would turn out and how it will end, there is no point in creating it.

a perfect being is all powerful it can create whatever it wants, but there is no challenge, because everything would work out perfectly, the being itself is perfect, why would it need to create anything new, it could never be better.

any being that creates is not a god.

 

That's actually a pretty good one.

Loopholes are fun to make, but in the end they're all moot when talking about God?

Why? God is omnipotent and omniscient. He knows how to bypass the loopholes because he knows and can do everything. We lower beings can't comprehend the magnitude of God.

It's just a bit unique.

Here's a question for you guys. Why do we have to assume god is omnipotent and omniscient? Some religions even suggest their god is in fact not any of those things.

If we can't comprehend the magnitude of god, can we even comprehend god at all? Are any of our machinations about god even remotely within the ballpark? We can't even know apparently. Even then, since there is no proof, we are all shooting in the dark.
