That verse seems to be about humanity, not about the universe we're in. Is anyone saying that this specific universe is special?

Who is actually saying that this universe is special?

The most satisfying response, in my opinion to the problem of petitionary prayer, is an attack on premise 1. Why do we characterize God as omnibenevol...

While I generally agree with the conclusion that this argument comes to, I strongly disagree with one of the more foundational premises. I think you w...

You still haven't shown why God must be omnibenevolent to be God. If God is not omnibenevolent I think I could still argue that God is worthy of prais...

I think there’s a major problem with your interpretation of the argument. Another way to formulate the argument is: If God is omniscient, then God wou...

I don’t understand what you’re saying. Why would God have to be fooled? Who said anyone was trying to fool God?

Pascal’s wager has nothing to do with popularity, if it did we could just say that since most of humanity has believed in some kind of deity all throu...
