God is one of the more curious and dangerous inventions of human beings. Essentially, God is whatever you want it to be, a he, a she, an it, all-powerful, sort of powerful, kind and compassionate, jealous, misogynistic, homophobic, moronic, psychopathic, angry, and vengeful. He is willing to perform mass murder, genocide, and wonderful miracles to uplift humanity. Since the earliest age I can remember, I thought the idea of God was an absurdity.

Although God is whatever you want it to be, if you don't agree with someone's version then it's cause for argumentation, war, marginalization, genocide, mistreatment, and whatever other violent act you can think of on his behalf. My God is better than your God, even if we get together at a conference and declare to the world that we all worship the same god.

There are so many reasons why God does not exist and no good reason that I have ever found to say that he does exist. And there is absolutely no proof. Speculation and sophomoric explanations don't count.

Probably the worst argument for the existence of God is that someone had to create everything we see. This is very primitive thinking, and not just in a time-sense; it's primitive because people have not evolved psychologically so that they are still unable to figure out life and their own minds in the same way they couldn't do so ten thousand years ago. If anything, God is a reflection of a very limited, fearful, and imaginative mind. Instead of finding out why things happen, human beings would rather just invent an answer, and that answer is something supernatural and condescending: We are too limited and unworthy to understand the greatness of this being that is so much more superior to we mortals. All this proves is that people can invent reasons why their inventions are fool-proof and substantial. Religions purvey this nonsense and so do cults; and they have never stopped doing so.

It seems that Christians did nothing more than complicate an already absurd idea by adding several layers of intermediaries, miracles, rewards, and punishments.

If you are a fan of logic, then it's very possible that arguments for the existence of God can send you to the loony house.
