Yes, we do exist. Let's even assume that God exists. Why does God exist?

Is God's existence absurd because he is subject to no standards of good or evil? And if he is not subject to such standards, if he makes them up, then the rules he makes for us are just arbitrary choices that have no rhyme or reason. Why should we not consider those rules absurd?

I think what you are saying is that:

1. Without God, our existence is absurd.
2. With God, God's existence is absurd.

We are still left with the problem of a purposeless being.

You have made many ‘assumptions’ about God and His nature and furthermore what you ‘believe’ I am saying.
I made no mention of God in my prior post for a reason. So again, let’s see if we can agree with this statement, ‘We know that we exist and we know that good exists’.

What possible purpose could you have for making such a statement?
