Justice? Fame? Wealth? Love? Sanity? You name it, I'll question it. I promise I'll win every time.

"Reality" is subject to the individual's interpretation, therefore, technically everything is "made up"

Using one mything or lack thereof, to justify reality of everyday life is a falations arguement.
Please remember that the concept of monotheism was brought about by the Jews. No one outside that area either knew or cared about this god you refer to.
In Asia and all other areas there were many concepts of gods and such that controlled life and natural events. They had no concept of a single god. Yet they had life, wealth, sanity and justice. In fact, our system of Justice is based on the Roman concept and they definitely di not believe in a dingle god.
As for wealth, you can hardly aregue with a bank balance. Justice, do you really think justice depends on a god. Every heard of separation of church and state.
You can question it and based on the tone of your question, you will assert that you 'Win every time" but that does not mean thay you have "Won". and what is it that you are winning? Is this some kind of battle.
god is definitly made up. Just because there is some book that says so does not make it true. There are many books telling many different stories about many different gods. So what is corect. It is your opinion, without basis of factsual, scientific proof, irrefutable, that a god exists. Athiests do not believe in any higher or supreme power. If all you say exists because of some god then this same god is taking care of those who abdjure the concept and do not recignize any conceptson theism in any form.
If this is the case, why bother getting all excited about it. For so called christians, who, like you, wallow in their superiority, god provides all these things, But for athiests, who reject all this nonsense, things go quite as nicely. So, who needs this god who provides for all reqardless of belief, real or imagined?

They're all abstract concepts. They are all made up.
You can't pick up a ball of love and kick it.
It's not a tangible object.
The are concepts that have been dreamt up to explain certain emotions that we feel, or to explain certain phenomena.
Justice for example is a concept of right and wrong, of crime and retribution.
Someone didn't walk through the woods one day and say 'Hey look! there's a justice, let's catch it and stick it in a bottle.
So surely with this argument you are shooting yourself in the foot.
Most atheists should agree that all of those things are made up - they're abstractions, dreamt up by humans to explain the immaterial, to explain emotions and what we feel, and why things happen.
Exactly the same as the way they made up God...
By invoking God, you can answer why the sun rises every day, why people die, where life comes from, why we feel happy.
These questions have of course since been answered by science with real, tangible proof and evidence that you can kick...

In your mind perhaps.
If God does not exist, then what is right and what is wrong ?
If it is a matter of Opinion, who's ?
If it is decided by society, how?
Take both questions back to the beginning of human history.
If you say that you cannot legislate morality, then I ask, "Is Murder against the Law ? of course you will have to say yes, Well then...you just legislated Morality, the only difference is who's morality will you legislate ?
I hear a Lot about Seperation of Church and State, well ..actually, that is a myth if you really think about it.
This is because many of our laws and ethics are Bibilcally derived or have been influenced in some way by the Bible, no one can really logically deny that, Think about it, Just how did we decide in this country what is and is not against the law anyway if the Bible did not exist,
I don't think anyone can logically believe that the Bible had no influence in how the founding fathers decided the Constitution and the Bill of rights, and even many of the State and Local laws on the Books today, You cannot tell me that if the Bible did not exist, that the same laws would still be there.

We can see justice take place. We can see famous people and the effects of fame. We can accumulate wealth. We can feel love. Many of us experience sanity. None of these can be said about god. I promise you, you'll lose every time.

I in basic terms decide to comprehend if the atheist can certainly furnish the marvelous answer as they are so advantageous that God did not create existence? - i will coach that the biblical version is a delusion. All of genesis exchange into plagiarized from the Sumerian pills having not something to do with deities so "god coming up existence" is a delusion. - As to proving the place existence got here from, we settle for a organic technique considering the fact that that has information. A deity magically forming existence is a delusion considering the fact which you have yet to coach a deity exists and that what youi use as a information is a nicely shown delusion. - There you have honestly information and information and no hypothesis.

Love is not made up. It can be chemically measured and tracked in your brain. Fame can be measured in column inches, justice is a concept that may change with time and from person to person. It is more an individual concept.
Sanity is measurable relative to accepted norms.
God cannot be measured because he doesn't exist.
You won't win every time.

Justice - a conecept we use to enforce our ethical standards
Fame - people liking you
Sanity - able to function in society effectively
Love - an instinct that gets us to help support one another
Lust - the thing people think of as "romantic love"
God - the weight of all of our unaswered questions and unfulfilled desires
you have just basically equated god with love, i love when someone who claims that god literally exists does this because they are stating the exact opposit, god is a concept ... a concept of human emotions ... hence he is not a part of reality but only of how we think. he is a part of your perception of reality and he is not a part of my perception, is he tangible in the static reality that we all perceive differently? i doubt it but of course i do not know for sure

What does pseudoscience/religion have to do with the justice system or wealth aggregation?
The justice system is real, but it doesn't claim to be anything other than man-made.
Most of the concepts you speak of have different meanings in different parts of the world....I don't think you'll find anyone who disputes that.
In the end, I'm not sure what your point is..........are you claiming that if wealth is real, it implies that God is real? That is nonsensical.

I don't get why anyone argues anyone's faith or absence of faith. If you are happy with your convictions and truly believe in whatever, your strength will shine through. Doesn't that count for more than a go-no-where challenge? Your last statement makes you sound like a poor loser and even worse, a poor winner.

What in life isn't made up? How about anything that you can see touch or feel (both emotionally and physically) those things are all real. Other planets are real. Evolution is real. Your bad attitude is real. Your wrong belief you will win everytime is real...
