Nope. It only questions the ability to degrade it's power. And, according to your attempt at logic, god doesn't have that ability. Thus it isn't omnip...
How you phrased that reminded me of Schrödinger's Cat. Maybe god is in a superposition of being able to create the rock and lift it - until you make a...
Logic isn't wrong, but you can make errors when trying to apply it. But dismissing an argument without explaining the fault in the logic is not a logi...
1. You didn't answer my question. 2. Do you? Or are they more likely to ask back "which one"? Referring to a specific god as "God" at least propagates...
I'm not sure but you seem to confuse the distinction of "inner state" versus "position" and "hard" and "soft". They are orthogonal. The former tells w...
"God" is not the name of any god, it is more like a title. Monotheists often forget that fact as their only god is identical to all titular gods they ...
Or, in other words, my god isn't limited by logic. That, for me, is the ultimate conversation stopper. Because, if you don't accept reason, why should...
"It is better ..." is a value judgement. There are no objective sets of values. So every statement "X is better than Y" should be read as "Given my va...
Yep. An important difference. "I believe in god(s)" is not a debatable assertion. I could reply "I don't" but that would be the end of the conversatio...
How many gods there are. If it has the properties omnipotence, omniscience, omni benevolence, omnipresence. If it is (perfectly) just, (perfectly) mer...
I hate to break it to you but you don't. You may have an illusion of knowledge, just as they do but if you put your "knowledge" to the test, you'll fi...
Short version: Theists don't agree what a god is. Slightly longer version: Knowledge is transferable. If I know something, I can teach you, show you t...
#2 because in most cases there are multiple ways to be wrong and only one way to be right. E.g.: 2 + 2 = a) 2 b) 22 c) 5 d) 11 If all answers are righ...
Exactly. (And for the agnostic there is no way to claim that s/he and only s/he is unable to gain that knowledge without special pleading. So there ar...
The word "god" gets defined by P1. "Clapton is god" is short for "I define god as Clapton." And since you obviously know Clapton and you know he exist...
No equivocation intended, nor do I see how you see one (except, as @javi2541997 noted, for grammatical reasons). The argument has the basic form of A=...
I agree. And I said so in the OP. I was primarily focused on the distinction of inner state versus position. Agree again. The former is often referred...
I don't think about it as long as I don't get a definition. But for the rest, yes, there is a possibility that god exists. I can even prove it to you....
I'm 59 but ancestors from both parents sides have reached about 100 in a time when the average life expectancy was half of what it's now. So I expect ...
"Theological noncognitivism is the non-theist position that religious language, particularly theological terminology such as "God", is not intelligibl...
It is more a reference to the term "going into silicone" for uploading as used in cyberpunk novels. So, yes it means electronic computing but not nece...
Briefly. The technology is much too young to anticipate if it will become useful in the process of "uploading". Again, too early to say. I'm not even ...
I think you are missing something here. In Aristotelian logic, only well formed propositions can have a truth value. Neither "god exists" nor " god do...
I'm with you in the general scepticism about the feasibility just on sheer complexity. And it doesn't end with the "electronics" of 10 billion neurons...
