  That's also the major problem in all of the arguments for the existence
of God (such as the cosmological, transcendental and ontological ones):
Even if you accepted all the postulations of the arguments as valid (which
they aren't, but even if), they are simply giving the unknown origin of
the Universe the label "God", without telling anything at all about this
"God". It's just a meaningless label for the unknown.

  Further claiming that this "God" is the god of a modern religion is a
typical argument from ignorance.
