So you don't know why we exist, but you know it's not God?

What you're saying isn't entirely wrong, but you're asserting God doesn't exist without arguments.

I’ve tried to show you that our existence is contingent and infinite contingency is a contradiction; therefore, there must be something that is existence itself. In a goodwill, rational discussion, go after the arguments.

You don't have to assent to belief in God, but at least make good arguments against it.

Correct, I don't fill unknown gaps with "god", that is a cop out, I just don't know yet and that's fine.

There is plenty of stuff we know for sure to work on.

It's on the god is real crowd to show there is a reason to listen to what they say. With thousands of geographically and philososphically incompatible god stories around, it seems obvious that humans created all the gods. Ya can't have an all powerful god that can't even get a consensus on one spec in the universe.

The Church was the State, but used god as their stick to hold power over the Plebs. Right this very moment there is a young girl somewhere being forcibly mutilated in the name of a god.

I say they either prove they are right, or leave everyone else alone.

I did tell you. Again, this isn't a “god of the gaps” argument. You clearly didn't listen to or read any of the content I provided. There can be good theistic and atheistic dialogue, but you're not representing your side well. Now, respond to my arguments, or you will lose my attention.

Nice chatting good luck!

Maybe next time we can have a better understanding. You're not far off, but I wish you would engage more with what I'm actually saying instead of a caricature you have in your mind; the greatest skeptics help form the best arguments.

I wish you well as well.
