because god has no definition, without definition somthing cannot be found. You need to define god to find him, and The bible.qu'ran dont do that very well.
I could say I have found god, its that tree, or cliff etc. The chances are sum1 would say thats not god.
Id say yes it is.
Theyd say prove it
Id say prove it isnt
They say it isnt omnipotent
I say its part of everything and everything is god, the accumulation of all matter+energy is god
They say no it isnt, gods a guy in the sky
The problem here is who is right?, what is god?
So for this reason 'god' on its own is a bad argument, there is no unified accepted definition of 'god'
If you wre to say " why is an anthropemorphic god not a good argument" then you could come to a conclusion, but without definition somthing cannot be found as anything could be that thing, and may as well be that thing.

Don't know if you mean arguing the existence of god or offering god as a reason for a position - but in either event, it's a bad idea to bring god into any argument simply because no one can know anything for sure about god. Thus it is two blind people arguing about the sight of a thing. It's a non-starter and offers no hope of resolution.

the same reason the lack of God is not a good argument

Because God can not be defined completely or accurately in limited human terms. Our minds have an exceptional amount of difficulty imagining what sort of being God must be. Because of this, God introduced into any discussion about why something is, effectively kills the discussion because God is above the question "Why?"

God is not an argument, good or bad. God is a deity.
(Ask a poorly worded ambiguous question, you get the answers you get.)

From a rigorously philosophical standpoint, God is not a good argument because God is not circumscribed. God is, usually, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, omni-whatever-the-situation-calls-for. Thus, God can "explain" everything without explaining anything.
Why is this blue? God made it that way.
Why is this not blue? God made it that way.
Why did I ask that? God made me.
Why did you read this? God permitted you to.
Why did you feel like reading this? God made feel like it.
The answer that explains everything ultimately explains nothing.

Because when you say God, most people are going to think religion, and religion is not philosophy.
Religion and God have nothing to do with ideas and thoughts or philosophy because they are written down as true. There's nothing to argue over in that case if your rules are already written down for you.

You should elaborate more on the question, I don't really understand what exactly you want to know.
