I am a mind, a simple thing. Now, being simple means having no parts. But it does not mean having no properties. One of my properties is that I think....

Yes. We ourselves are simples - entities with no parts - and we can change what mental state we are in.

No, you are just confusing being able to do something with actually doing it. I am able to be in France. You think that means I am in France, don't yo...

Yes, but I am not doing that. I believe there are no true contradictions. So the question is whether that is consistent with my being God. And it is. ...

Yes, if I was God I could. I do not believe I am omniscient. The question is whether that is consistent with me being omniscient. Can an omniscient be...

I don't believe there are true contradictions. I know that as certainly as I know anything. So, if I am God then there are not any. Thus I take the es...

Yes. To 'show' it you do. I am wondering if I can be shown not to be God by the idea of me being God being shown to be one that contains a contradicti...

It is to show that there is an actual contradiction involved in the idea. Remember: I don't think any contradictions are true.

Yes, you know full well that I do. An omnipotent being can do anything and so an omnipotent being has the ability to make any argument valid. For an a...

Yes, I am asking whether I can discount the possibility. In the OP I said very clearly that I do not believe I am God and that I take the idea to be a...

You said that there were actual contradictions contained in what I said. I have asked you to show me them. You haven't. I think that's because there a...

I think what you mean is that there are no contradictions contained in anything I said.

No. They would demonstrate it to be false. So identify a contradiction in something I have said

Identify one contradiction, mortal

I have given the answer several times now: an omnipotent being can do anything and thus has the power to cease to be omnipotent. Again: an omnipotent ...

Yes. If they were unable to stop being omnipotent, then they would not be omnipotent. Being able to do something does not mean one has done it. This: ...

I fail to see any in yours. I could not make head nor tail of what you said.

Yes. The true proposition 'I am omniscient' could be one that lacks justification. If that is the case, then it is not an item of knowledge and thus m...

The precise opposite is true. Positing two generates contradictions. Positing one does not. If I have the power to create a boulder too heavy for me t...

I've told you what omniscience means and there is really nothing more to say on that. As for the second part, no nothing I have said implies the child...

As for boulders - of course an omnipotent being can make a boulder to heavy for him to lift - why not? The point is he'd be able to make one the other...

I literally just told you. If there are two omnipotent beings neither will be able to do all things as the other will place a limit on those abilities

One omnipotent person would have the power to stop the other one doing things, and vice versa

You are not taking my question deeper, but changing it for another one. It also does not follow from my actually being God that I am God of necessity....

I too am drinking a glass of wine, although it started out as a glass of water.

Because that one is philosophically uninteresting. It's obviously possible that I am not God. What's interesting is that it is genuinely metaphysicall...

It's entailed by omnipotence!! The definition of God that I gave - and that you completely ignored - is that God is omnipotent (among other things). T...

Uniqueness follows from omnipotence - you can't have more than one omnipotent person.

That means that possession of those properties makes one God and failure to have any means one is not God. That is, it means that omnipotence, omnisci...

Opening line of the OP. Read it

Yes, my definition of God entails that. That's why I said right at the outset that by God I mean an omnipotent, omniscient, omnibenevolent person. It ...

Yes, what I said isn't what you attributed to me.

I have about 13 sachets of sugar in my coffee when I drink out and it causes problems as a mountain of spent paper cartridges builds up around my cup ...

No, I did not say that. I define omniscience as being in possession of all knowledge. Someone who is in possession of all knowledge is omniscient. Pos...

No, I did not say that. But I think that someone who thinks I did is not worth debating with as they will misunderstand every single thing i say.

It's not a God making property. If I am omnipresent it does not follow that I am God, nor does a lack of it imply i am not God. Any number of persons ...

Yes. It's not remotely reasonable to believe one is God. After all, my arguments apply to us all, and there are billions of us and only one God, so th...

I've defined God as an omnipotent, omniscient, omnibenevolent person. Omnipresence is not a God-making property and seems positively incompatible with...

I do not understand what you mean. I am saying that I cannot seem to rule out - not categorically- that I may have the properties of omnipotence, omni...

Omni is latin for 'all' and scientia is latin for 'knowledge'. So historically it has meant 'all knowledge'. If one wants one can define omniscience a...

That's solely due to conflating true beliefs with knowledge. They're not the same. One can be in possession of all true beliefs and not be omniscient....

Omniscience means 'all knowledge'. If - as many contemporary theists foolishly do - one defines it to mean 'all truth beliefs' then one is simply misu...

With great difficulty.

Divisible. Therefore one's mind is not a boner.

Itself. Indivisible things are called 'simples' and they are not made of anything more basic than themselves. Not everything can be made of other thin...

The only extended thing that begins with a b that you can conceive of is a banana? I don't know what you can conceive of as I so not have access to th...

Yes, you can have half a banana, but not half a mind. Therefore minds are not bananas. Shall we run through every single extended thing you can concei...

That's half a brain. Brains can be halved. Minds can't be halved. Minds are therefore not brains

And when it comes to logic, assume that every argument you believe to be deductively valid I also believe to be deductively valid. This is not about t...

If someone has power over whether or not something is nonsense, then they have more power than someone who does not. So once more: a person who can do...
