I'm trying to understand this argument about the existence of God
thing.
My problem is with the notion of existence. Does "the little green me
who don't exist who live under my bed" exist?
It seems to me that if it doesn't exist then I don't exist, and if it
does
exist then God exists. Put another way: Assume God is only a story
told by millions of people. I am only a story told by trillions of
cells.
God and I have the same ontological status -- we either both exist
or both do not exist.

No essence. No permanence. No perfection. Only action.
God is an imaginary friend. But as imaginary friends go, he's one of the
best.
I don't know whether I exist or not, but somebody sure does make a mess
in my apartment, and there is nobody else here.
Best wishes
