Do you create characters so that you can act like yourself?
Authors always have characters in thier books that have similarities to themself.
Some people think that they understand god's nature, and try to use that to say he does not exist.
How can they understand god's nature and at the same time believe he doesnt exist? I think what you mean is they think they can understand the nature of God depicted in the bible, or some other religious text.
Anyways, Its an assumption to say that the Bible shows the true nature of god, or some other religious text does, after all thier just books telling you thier version of history. And they can't all be correct, because they do obvoiusly contradict eachother.
Also, how would the nature of god be used to prove he (im using "he" because its an easy way to refer to him) does or does not exist? Maybe he is a sadist, that doesnt contradict his existence.. Maybe it does according to a religious text, but again nothing shows thier the truth.
