Something that is aphysical and atemporal is indistinguishable from what we would otherwise call "nothing".

Exactly! But how can you say it doesn't exist when nothing has has been put forth. It's not even a concept it's just a word without meaning in many instances.
-
The simple reason why "God" is meaningless is because nobody labeling themselves "theist" can give you any reason to believe that they themselves can imagine anything which they would label "God". Thus all they have is the sound "God", or the row of three alphabet letters beginning with a capital "G", with an "o" in the middle, and a "d"' on the right end. "God" is simply like "Fod" in that it has no existent or imaginary referent.

Also, regarding gravity, you're right, it's not really a tangible thing. It's a result of a tangible thing, a material thing.
You must have material to have gravity.
Therefor, consciousness (i.e. a god) cannot have consciousness without material. You need a brain to have consciousness.

It is impossible for a god to exist, just like it is impossible for squares to be circle.
A god has all the criteria for non-existence. You cannot smell, taste, touch, see, feel, detect with infrared, nightvision, radio frequency, etc. Nothing you can ever do will detect a force known as a god, ever, that's what a god is by definition.
You're essentially saying "Non-existence... exists"
It's as logical as saying "that is a square circle"
It's mutual contradiction.
A god is impossible.

Yet both gravity and light can defined and observed. But with god you can only give secondary(god is father, god is creator), negative(god is supernatural, god is spirit), and contradictory (god is all-powerful and all-knowing). Yet god is not observe and not defined in a reasonable manor. Yet I should still be open to the concept that contradicts it-self? and vague?

to calculate it's effects and consequences, but there isn't any definition of what gravity really is. No one can point and say "there's gravity. This is what it looks like and what it's made of." It holds the universe together and is a law that much of science hangs on, but there's no definition of what it is.
The same is true of light. Sometimes it's defined as particles, sometimes waves. No one really understands what light is, but we'd laugh at someone, who claimed not to believe in light.

I would give the traditional definition of God. Omniscient, omnipotent, all benevolent ect.
Granted such a concept is, or nearly is beyond human comprehension and may seem to be impossible or contradictory and it certainly can't be made into a math formula, but that doesn't disprove God's existence.
People can believe in things they can't define or understand and in fact they do so on a regular biases. Take gravity for example, scientist know it exists and can use mathematics-c-

Are YOU a Weak or a Strong Atheist?by pixelatedxdeath369 views
-C could exist, doesn't mean He's impossible. Unlike God, men aren't omniscient. It's possible that there are things beyond our comprehensive ability, therefore it's possible that God could exist.

You first have to make definition of god that reveals proper ontology of that deity. You can not say that "it" exists until you define what "it" is first. Unless you can prove that in our daily lives we believe in something before we can define or understand what it is first.

Personally, I find strong atheism very arrogant. Take a look at your argument.
+I can not understand/conceive of the concept of God.
+Anything that's impossible for me to understand must not be possible.
----
=Therefore God is not possible
Understanding has limits. Babies can not understand higher mathematics. Dogs could not conceive of the idea of color. But that doesn't mean the truths of calculous are impossible, or that color can't exist.
Just because you don't understand how God -C

Actually I find your argument hypocritical. You do the same thing all the time. You reject the existence of anything that has contradictory traits. Such as square-circles. In truth, If you do not understand what you believe in then you do not believe in it PER SE but believing in belief it-self and not the actual concept.
