Substantiate this claim. And besides, I didn't say anything about suffering. I said "Why did God make it so that we can commit evil acts" not "Why did...

He could’ve made it physically near impossible or impossible to perform evil acts (indestructible bodies for instance). Why didn’t he do so? It wouldn...

What exactly do you mean. Free will fits into this a 100 different ways.
November 09, 2021 at 04:49
If it’s an infant and not a man, I know it’s evil. There have been infants tortured to death before. Ergo problem of evil (among many other sources of...

You’ve stated the refutation I wanted to state. If God is being unjust he’s not worthy of worship. Yes they can. Because an omnipotent God could make ...

It is certainly more self evident to reason that a newborn is innocent than that God exists. It appears that: God exists (at least to you), if God exi...

That’s what I thought too but he said God can’t divest himself while remaining God himself. Just shows he doesn’t understand his own bullshit
November 07, 2021 at 07:33
I'll try one last time. I did not arrive at that conclusion. The problem here is your lack of reading comprehension. I am not comparing one with the a...

But not being able to maintain your Godhood without one of the Os is a limitation. That too, is painfully obvious. If God has that limitation, he’s no...
November 06, 2021 at 03:52
So then, wouldn't God be limited by the fact that he can't remain God while relinquishing one of the Os? But how do you know? You would say that it's ...

Conversely, if you don’t have a PHD, you lose the doctorate, yes? If God decides to relinquish one of the Os is he still God?

Sophie’s world if you’re looking for something more lightweight or entertaining.
November 04, 2021 at 07:02
I was trying the Bartricks thing where you purposely give the least charitable interpretation so that you can make a counter argument. So I interprete...

Jeffrey is the name of a person who has red hair. Henry has those qualities. Thus Jeffrey is Henry.

Change it yourself you freeloader! But most of these aren't the case: You either haven't had good friends or are not a good friend yourself. It "can b...

By this formulation: That same agent knows that preventing pleasure is bad. Therefore "If you don't have a kid, and they would've like life, that's ba...
November 02, 2021 at 14:04
But you can't argue this in world X. And yes, I hate the asymmetry, because it makes no sense. The meaning of "good" and "bad" is not consistent in ea...
November 02, 2021 at 05:52
Yes. And you think so too for the Utopia example and surprise parties. Neither are needed impositions. The disagreement here is about the size of the ...
November 02, 2021 at 04:15
I just noticed your name is rather fitting right now haha.
November 02, 2021 at 01:44
No the point isn’t to say “getting pricked by a pin is fine so having kids is fine”. The point is to show that “someone could hate it” is not sufficie...
November 02, 2021 at 01:38
No I don't. You stated the premise that if something is true, we can prove it. Prove that premise. You think if it is true, there should be a proof fo...
November 01, 2021 at 12:11
I'd look to psychology or neurology.
November 01, 2021 at 10:14
Not necessarily. There could be some true statements we can't prove (incompleteness) Wot? Max I'd be willing to say is "If there is valid proof that w...
November 01, 2021 at 08:45
First true thing you say in a while. Sure. Doesn’t follow. How exactly would she go about disallowing it? The only power she has is the ability to det...
November 01, 2021 at 07:16
False. There have historically been multiple. False because it wouldn’t be able to do anything to someone who chooses to ignore it’s imperatives. Nor ...
November 01, 2021 at 05:15
Try our best to make it better. Imagine I had a magical pin that gives someone a million dollars on condition that they’re pricked without consent. Wo...
November 01, 2021 at 04:57
Someone’s life is worth starting if they will feel it is worth continuing. Obviously you can’t feel if your life is worth starting or not, you can’t f...
October 31, 2021 at 20:02
I didn't mean to start another debate, just clearing up that I never said "Jeff said cock and ball torture is worthwhile so it's ethical to do it to H...
October 31, 2021 at 13:32
Life. I thought you were characterizing life purely as negative. Obviously not. Maybe take a charitable interpretation if you want to have a discussio...
October 31, 2021 at 13:23
But also, it's possible for you to be wrong, but only think you're right. And since if something is possible it is factual, you are in fact wrong. It ...
October 31, 2021 at 13:21
The God that kills the Christian God possibly exists, his name is Will Hoff. Therefore Will Hoff exists. God is dead and Will Hoff killed him. It is a...
October 31, 2021 at 12:09
But it's not analogous at all. In logic, A can imply B without B implying A right? Now replace "A" with "Actual" and "B" with "Possible" Conversely, t...
October 31, 2021 at 09:26
But we're not talking about points in space are we?
October 31, 2021 at 09:24
"There is a gap" is not a logical statement. I think what you mean to say is: Possible does not imply Actual. And 3 shows that Actual does imply Possi...
October 31, 2021 at 09:21
So P does not lead to A. X is P Thus X is P and !A? That doesn't follow. I think you're confusing "P does not lead to A" with "P leads to !A". With th...
October 31, 2021 at 09:19
Obviously it says that because we established from the first line that X is possible and not actual. If we are talking about this world, well it's pos...
October 31, 2021 at 08:19
I don't think anyone said this. What was said was: If world X is possible, that doesn't imply it's actual. But this doesn't follow from either "world ...
October 31, 2021 at 06:54
You don’t need to agree with that one. The first critique doesn’t talk about any of the premises but the scope of the argument. The “God exists” that ...
October 31, 2021 at 04:23
your argument isn’t world specific. So you haven’t said anything about the existence of God in this world which is what people care about. That’s how ...
October 31, 2021 at 04:14
Not in this world necessarily though so who cares?
October 31, 2021 at 04:13
I never said this. I denied it was negative. And you weren’t able to show why it is. “Human condition” you insist despite virtually everyone disagreei...
October 31, 2021 at 03:48
Because what you write is moronic. As I was reading your last response I couldn’t go 3 words without thinking of a paragraph in response to your stupi...
October 31, 2021 at 03:47
Can you come up with an imposition that is less egregious than life that we nonetheless find bad enough that it’s wrong to impose? You’d have a pretty...
October 30, 2021 at 15:50
Did you think people take these literally? No…. You clearly don’t listen to people very often.
October 30, 2021 at 07:04
Similarly, I deny that God is subject to time. So you have to generate a contradiction without assuming that God is subject to time. Assumes God is su...
October 30, 2021 at 02:02
It would be just as easy to come up with a 100 positive things. Are you for real with #23? Having kids is wrong because of insomnia? Really? Makes as ...
October 30, 2021 at 01:42
I think what you’re describing is close to Identity theory in theory of mind. The intro on SEP explains it better than I could. https://plato.stanford...
October 29, 2021 at 15:53
This is precisely what I disagree with. I already said that it is possible for a mind (God) to exist outside of time and gave an image of it. So no, n...
