    Issue: God is meaningless.

    a. Point: God is just a figment of our imagination.

    Reason: As human beings, we are constantly in search of god that we are born with the illusion

    that he exists.

    Example: As human beings, we cling to religion, which clouds our judgement even more

    Point: God is just a figment of our imagination to fill the metaphorical void we have

    b. Point: God is beyond human comprehension

    Reason: Simply because we dont know his reasons for creating us.

    Example: It is not known why he has created us, we dont know if hes having a hormonal

    imbalance or whatnot and made us out of thin air because he just felt like doing so.

    Point: No matter how much we rationalize about his intentions in creating us, we still dont have

    a definite answer.

    c. Point: God is irrelevant in our everyday lives.

    Reason: Simply because we get through days, months, even years without having to

    experience his presence.

    Example: After a hard day out, things still happen, even without his intervention

    Point: Life goes on even without his presence

    Conclusion: God is just a concept, a product of the human imagination.
