Actually it is not the same thing, God’s existence is nessesary, so it doesn’t need a cause you can’t have an infinite series of causes.

How can ‘truth’ logically exist without God John? What is truth to you? Or are you living in an illusion of self-beliefs based on emotional ‘feel’ goods? (Just a question)
Where do you get a sense of justice and fairness John? What is ‘justice’ to you John? If a terrorist were to hijack an airplane with all of your loved ones in it and then send it into a building and ultimately eternity would you want ‘a God’ (assuming there is a God) to show just punishment to the terrorist’s soul in eternity?
When looking at a painting the evidence that there was a painter is the painting exists; the evidence of a builder is a building exists; the evidence that there is a creator is that Creation Exists.
A man doesn’t have to understand all the ingredients in food and water and how his body processes them to eat and drink. All a man knows is that without these he will die. It is called faith, a belief.
So John we are all without an excuse in believing that there is no God.
It takes simple humility John to believe in God, because you have to admit with your finite mind that the infinite exists. God has made it easy for us to know him, easy enough for a child.

To suggest that “if God does not exist, then neither does good and evil, or love, or truth, or value” is a mighty philosophic jump.

It seems like a non-sequitur to me.

Those things – truth, love, justice, etc. – may well exist, just as the world exists, *without* a god.

Of course, most things we know have a creator. We tend to think that, therefore, all things must have a creator.

But it is conceivable that things exist without a Creator. “God”, for example, has no creator, according to Christianity.

And so it is logically possible that truth, love and justice simply *exist*, without a creator.
