In a theological debate, an atheist may propose a circular argument by asserting,
在神學辯論中,無神論者可能會提出循環論證,聲稱
"God is merely a man-made concept because all notions of God are inherently created by humans."
「上帝只是一個人造概念,因為上帝的所有概念本質上都是由人類創造的」。

human-generated as proof of its artificiality. The argument essentially concludes that God
人類產生的前提來證明其人為性。這個論證的基本結論是,上帝
is a man-made construct on the basis that concepts of God originate from human thought.
是一個人造的概念,其基礎是上帝的概念源自於人類思想。

然而,這種推理是循環的,因為它假設了它想要證明的東西:
the premise that all ideas of God are human creations is used to substantiate the conclusion

這樣的論點無法為其主張提供外部驗證
