For me, these questions seem to be more productive than whether there is or isn't a god - what larger processes are you participating in, what are you perpetuating? What steps can you engage with to stop perpetuating things you fundamentally disagree with? There is or isn't a god, and I may or may not be wrong about knowing this. Does being right and then sitting down with a grin about being right actually change anything? Better to find a set of belief systems that I actually align with and perpetuate them.
Everything that begins to exist needs a cause. The universe began to exist, so it needs a cause outside itself. God didn’t begin to exist. He’s the uncaused cause. You either believe in an eternal something or an eternal someone, the evidence points to the someone imo.
That which is causeless is beyond all ideas which appear as its expression though. Including the idea of creator/ created. There is just creating happening endlessly without beginning or end.
