Are Atheists doing it wrong?

I just kept that in because I legit read through your shit line by line, and then read your example haha. Ironic.

It doesn't have to be something you can grab or hold, it just has to be something real. A concept can be real. Concepts are things on their own. But whatever they are conceptualizing, isn't automatically made reality.

The concept of God is a definitive, real and existing thing.

God itself, we are unsure about.

bring (something) into existence.

If you look up the definition of create, it literally means to bring something into existence. Explain to me how one can go about "creating" dragons and yet it doesn't mean dragons exist.
I'm glad you agree that truth exists despite that it is not a physical object. Earlier when you were saying that God doesn't exist because he (or she) isn't a concrete object, I thought you were meaning to imply that only things that exist physically can be said to exist. Now that we're past that hurdle, you still maintain (correct me if I'm wrong) that actual things are separate from our concept of those things and that we may have concepts of things for which there's no actual (or physical) existence, and that moreover, simply having a conception doesn't mean what we are conceptualizing exists. Is that an accurate description of your argument? If that is the case, I'd ask you to prove that things exist independent of our perception. Give an example of something that exists that we haven't perceived or conceived. If you can't point to such a thing, how do we know that a thing is truly separate from our concept of it?
