Why does God exist?

Why does God exist?
I know that he exists but I do not know why he exists.
I have never seen this question asked.

>know that he exists
how tho

He exists conceptually because adults need an imaginary friend

He doesn’t exist actually

This

Also sage. Enough religion threads already. Take it to /bant/.

If one could see god as the whole of the universe and if you, an individual human are a creation of said universe, then whatever reason exists for your existence is the reason for god's existence. In other words there are many reasons for his existence. After all if there was no entity to ask the question of why, would there exist a reason for god's existence? No, as there would be no god without us, because a thing does not exist if its existence is not acknowledged.

same reason why anything exists, upper management made a decision

because he is existence in itself, the alpha and the omega.
he does exist and is able to communicate with you, if you seek him and build a relationship with him.

Fish in the tank asks, why do humans exist?

It can’t be proven or disproven.

Ideality above reality

r/imfifteenandthisisdeep

Nothing has a reason to exist, it just does.

Yeah but like....where?

I think it has something to do with time and phenomenon as it relates to perception of reality. I am there for I am. God exists because he wanted to.

A fish witnesses our existence much more clearly than we do god's.

I think therefore I am*

We are god experiencing it self in a simulated universe.

the question is flawed, youre assuming God is subject to the constraints we are, we need to serve him, thats why we exist but God created the concept of needing for us

Yet they do not comprehend us at all.

Because God is existence itself. He exists, because it is essential to him. If he didn't exist, then nothing would exist. It's like asking "Why is reality real?". That's what reality is, if there was some other explanation more fundamental, then that would be a more fundamental reality, and you could ask the exact same question, ad absurdum.

Neither do we comprehend them, but fish are not a same kind of entity to us as god, the fish are not the unknown as far as its form and conceptual boundaries are concerned. God, meanwhile, has sparked huge debate about his form or his boundaries.

You should consider reading some arguments for the existence of God. Research Divine Simplicity.
In short:

The cosmological arguments: These arguments argue from a principle (explanation, causation, composition) and show that you are able to trace everything back to a beginning, if you accept that principle. For example: In biology there are many species, species evolve from other species, this cannot go into infinity, therefore there must be a (set of) first species.
After you show that an infinite regress is impossible and that multiple beginnings would need a more fundamental beginning, you can show that you will end at Divine Simplicity. Rejecting those arguments is only possible by rejecting fundamental principles like "things don't suddenly pop into and out of existence", "reality is real" and "things have an explanation". If you reject these principles, you are crazy.

The ontological arguments: The ontological arguments show a really easy way for the greatest conceivable being, which is God.
If this greatest being didn't necessarily exist, it could be greater by necessarily existing. Since it is already the greatest thing, it must exist necessarily.
The greatest being can of course not be constrained or limited by anything, once again leading us to Divine Simplicity.

The argument of gradation of being. For every quality (like temperature, length, etc.) we can identify something setting the standard or spanning a domain/dimension. For example nothing can be greater than space itself, making space itself the biggest thing. Furthermore, things are actualized according to those dimensions. Since certain things exist and certain things don't exist, we can identify existence as such a dimension, which means it is the pure act of being => Divine Simplicity

Long cosmological arguments:

pantheism is wrong.

Based divine simplicity user. OP, ask God why when you return to Him.

Divine Simplicity is a pretentious way of saying Pantheism. Divine Simplicity is not a concept outside the boundaries of existence. Whatever is within the domain of existence is the fruit of Divine Simplicity and therefore, Divine Simplicity itself.

There are statements about nothing that are true, simple as that.

What a lot of people don't understand about God is that 'real' and 'not real' are just fluid properties of the description, which responds to His will immediately. Atheists are all low IQ. There's no reason whatsoever to even entertain them for a second.

>Divine Simplicity is not a concept outside the boundaries of existence.
?

>Divine Simplicity is a pretentious way of saying Pantheism.
>Whatever is within the domain of existence is the fruit of Divine Simplicity and therefore, Divine Simplicity itself.
It is not pantheism, since you can clearly distinguish between creator and creation, similar to how you can distinguish an author and his or her book. Does the book in some way resemble the author? Of course, you can find Shakespeare in his works for example, but he isn't there as such.

To put a veil over the ignorant so they can be more productive and guide them.

Sheep need a shepherd

>Why does God exist?
Because the Jews needed more convincing arguments and justifications for their cycles of conquering and being cucked.

YHWH is just the Jewish Will to Power.
