Do you see the difference between being present and being omnipresent? Being present is not the same as being omnipresent (present everywhere) It mean...

There's a clear difference between being omnipresent, and being present. No finite beings can ever be omnipresent, so they can only be present. Agreed...

You can't be omniscient if you're not omnipresent. So either there has never been and there never will be an omniscient being, or there has always bee...

If Existence isn't some kind of thing, then what is it? Non-existence? Do you see the paradox? There isn't an alternative though. Something has to sus...

It means we used reason wrong somewhere. Think about the usage of language in every context. Law, science, maths, conversation with friends. Whenever ...

Dude, you can have information on a computer just as you can have information on a piece of paper. You need a conscious being to understand the inform...

You're saying two different things can be omnipresent. If the law of gravity is x an the law of electromagnetism is y, then either these laws have no ...

We are within a Monad but we are not Monad. You can't because it's paradoxical/meaningless. We are in Existence is not paradoxical, nor is it the same...

How can there be no contradiction in 2 or more omnipresent beings? Can you have two separate existences? What are they separated by, non-existence? Is...
September 26, 2018 at 06:22
My argument hinges on pure reason. Pure reason dictates that whilst we are in Existence, we are not Existence. To say that we are Existence is paradox...
September 26, 2018 at 06:14
Reason itself is infallible otherwise using it would be absurd/paradoxical. One day reason would say the definition of a triangle is x another day it ...
September 26, 2018 at 05:47
I see what you're saying. In order to better communicate what I'm saying, let's leave the concept of perfection for now and perhaps come back to it la...

So this is contradictory then is it not? You cannot have a square-circle. Right? If something is a square, how can it be a circle at the same time? Ho...
September 26, 2018 at 02:05
Reason is a part of our existence. It authoritatively dictates things without compromise such as: you cannot use reason to doubt reason as that would ...
September 26, 2018 at 01:57
We use reason to make sense of our observations, it's not the other way round. We have paradigm shifts in science and we alter the foundations of scie...
September 26, 2018 at 01:22
True. All counter arguments against God would only amount to paradox/absurdity. Ok, forget what Descartes said. I'll put my argument in a premise by p...
September 26, 2018 at 00:25
You miss out some key premises: P5: Only that which is omnipresent can be omnipotent P6: Nothing can ever become omnipresent from a non-omnipresent st...
September 26, 2018 at 00:16
Because it would be paradoxical. I'll demonstrate. Any step you disagree with, let me know: 0) All absurd/contradictory things are necessarily non-exi...
September 26, 2018 at 00:00
Because you can have Existence generate/produce a unicorn. But can Existence generate/produce Existence/omnipresence? In other words can something bec...
September 25, 2018 at 23:44
I'll try and highlight the difference as best as I can by comparing: A) An omnipotent being must exist or have the potential for existing A) A unicorn...
September 25, 2018 at 08:14
Omnipotence = that which can do all that is doable. There is no contradiction in this definition. Now, something that is paradoxical does not constitu...
September 25, 2018 at 04:08
and the concept has meaning (just as the concept omnipresence has meaning), in order to avoid the paradox of saying that the mind has gone outside/bey...
September 25, 2018 at 04:02
To better understand your view of reason, let me start by saying: In order to use reason effectively, avoiding paradoxes is necessary. Right? I'll try...
September 25, 2018 at 03:54
Because it would be paradoxical to think otherwise: All minds exist in Existence. They are a part of Existence. They don't surpass or go beyond Existe...
September 24, 2018 at 19:39
Semantically, what you're describing, sounds like heaven to me. The process of purifying/filtering/testing/enhancing free-will/the spirit is what I be...

Existence is all-existing. How can something else take it's place or substitute it?
September 24, 2018 at 19:06
Not don't exist, but can't ever exist. There's a difference. I can imagine a unicorn, but I've never seen a real one. It's possible for unicorns to be...

Thank you for replying. I'll summarise what I wrote in my previous blog posts into premises. Let me know which premise strikes you as problematic: (1)...
