I was ... I'm just responding to a later post.I do notice of course the structure of your 1st premise that purposely limits God to a very particular conclusion by design, to suit.(1) and (3) do not support each other because if a god is real it needs a cause based on the first premise. A sound argument for an uncaused god would be:(1) All things real needs a cause.
(2) God is that cause.
(3) God is real
(1) All things real need a cause.
(2) God is uncaused.
(3) God is magical.
(2) and (3) could be reversed and the argument would still be sound. An uncaused god only makes sense if it is something magical.
Instead of the line in your 1st
premise that states: All things real need a cause....
...how about this alternative option out of a dozen & a half, one could design:
(1) All things in nature has a cause?
I thought you were kidding about this argument because of the wink smilie, but maybe you are serious??
“I was” means “I was serious,” or “I was kididing”?
