"outside the ordered universe that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless d...

I'm not enough of a Lovecraft scholar to say (actually not a Lovecraft scholar at all :wink: ). Although he was quite erudite, I'm also not entirely s...

Yes, that's pretty much where I thought you were coming from. I'll try to get back to you in the not too distant future.

And now, since I'm a righteous dude, Here's a musical interlude! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxScTbIUvoA

I'm cool with it. I'm just making people aware of the reason for any apparent mismatch. I have been on fora where trolls would quite intentionally pos...

As a kind of holy relic, I saved the OP from Google cache:

Maybe you just had to be there. Of course, now you can't. Ever.

Dog is indeed love. But God? Now that is a joke...

It was awesome. Fully of snakes and lizards and women with small vaginas. Also, I promised to pray for someone (coughs @"christian2017"). But it was n...

A man walks into a forum and says: "God is love." :lol:

Proposition: Philosophers are humourless gits Well, the "Snakes don't have legs and the reason for this OP" thread did get deleted... :sad:

Oh, PS Speaking only for myself, you're welcome. I quite enjoyed it. Though I may have to bow out of the discussion. As I was saying on yet another th...

I might as well admit that I don't know enough about this topic to have an intelligent opinion of my own. But my understanding - based solely on the p...

No... that's not really it. Although I do agree that - - at least as you have defined your terms for the purposes of this proof. But that wasn't reall...

Leo, I would like to reply to you properly, but my response may take a day or two to arrive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlwnbcxBuzI The trouble w...

Incidentally, this is completely trivial and by the way. But I notice you say that: I'm not sure how much formal philosophical education you've had (I...

There is a lot of stuff in this post I could (and may later) take issue with. But right now I want to cut to what I consider the heart of the matter. ...

Lovecraft's theology does not begin and end with Cthulhu. The ultimate God in his pantheon is Azathoth, the blind idiot God. Look around you. Plausibl...

I've always thought so... But, it's adios from me for now. 'Night all!

Not to worry: it's bound to happen sooner or later! And you know, some folks here might say that it's happened already. Some might even say that it's ...

GIven @"Dfpolis"'s background, I doubt the latter. But I really shouldn't speak for him.

Okay, I follow you there. But... Still not entirely sure how you get to that. I'm not saying it isn't, but I'm not at all sure how you justify that cl...

Cool :smile:

I can't speak for @"Dfpolis", but I'm guessing he might draw a distinction between actually acting, vs simply having the ability to act. So God can ac...

I think discovering Lovecraft is worth a significant price. My only caution to you is that he is by far the most racist author I've ever read. But he ...

Oh well. On the plus side, I can (and do) drive a manual transmission. So that may allow me to retrieve at least one or two of my lost points! :wink:

Wow... thank you! That is extremely kind of you to say! But I'm afraid I wouldn't have the foggiest notion of how to go about fixing a car. Does that ...

Awesome! :grin:

Yes, I was wondering what exactly @"Dfpolis" has in mind by the term "being." Although if God is completely unlimited in ability to act the point beco...

Given the nature of the universe in which we find ourselves, why on Earth would you conclude that? The Abrahamic God, whatever else you might say of H...

I don't personally buy either your theology or that of @"Dfpolis". My own chosen moniker is a kind of private joke, and essentially ironic. But that s...

First, for anyone reading this, the post TheMadFool quotes above went through a bunch of edits, the final of which went through after I was quoted. An...

Don't forget: the OP is talking about God as not only infinite, but as completely unlimited. Harking back to my previous post, I would say that only t...

Incidentally, another problem with the concept of God as ...is that as an explanatory concept, it's completely bankrupt. You have a theory that can ex...

Yes, even if one accepted this proof (which I don't) one must be careful about the implicit leap from to any other characteristics traditionally assig...

The OP is quite lengthy and complex. My off the cuff response is that there are a number of things in your proof that do seem problematic to me. The s...

I agree! And frankly, @"Maureen", I think watching more pornography would be a good way to fire up your imagination!

Recognition! Finally... :roll:

I listen to your arguments, christian2017. They bring me great happiness. Speaking of which, I truly grieve for the loss of the thread with all the sn...

I'd like to help you, Frotunes, but I'm afraid I only do thread necromancy. At least, most of the time! :naughty:

Just out of curiosity, what book? Link?

I have been contemplating your post. I think we all agree it's an interesting one. I hesitate to say anything definite, as it deals with some quite te...

Yes, that's nice.

A technology capable of somehow interacting with The Force™ (or a science capable of explaining it) would be the obvious answer. But then, look how aw...

Still not seeing what any of this has to do with countable vs uncountable infinities.

Yes, I am familiar with the concept of countable vs uncountabile infinities. How exactly does it affect this argument?

Cool :smile:

All physically real objects have locations defined by at least three dimensions. So we are all volumes, not points. On that basis, I like @"Terrapin S...

On which note I ask you: How exactly does countability even become an issue here?

There is a difference between not dumbing a subject down, and explaining it in such a way that your explanation can only be understood by someone who ...
