That's not an argument. My argument refutes your view - it shows it to be nonsense. Your response "but it's my view!" over and over again. Yes, I know...
God isn't mentioned in the premises. Refute the argument. Don't just keep reiterating your hopeless confusion over the word God and its occult power t...
God isn't mentioned in the premises. You are confusing a label with a person and flagrantly begging the question. Focus on the argument. You have said...
Er, where's your argument? You think you saying stuff is an argument? You think telling me my view is contentious is a refutation? You think contentio...
No, mate, you haven't. You have just asserted, on the basis of no argument, that the person of God - so, God - is essentially omnipotent. That's false...
That's just a convoluted way of asserting once more that an omnipotent person is essentially omnipotent, a claim that is incoherent - as I explained a...
Yes it does. Once more: omnipotence is a property of a person. It essentially involves being able to do anything. That doesn't mean that it is essenti...
Which premise in my argument do you deny? Stop begging the question by making arbitrary pronouncements and stop ignoring the fact your view has the id...
No, omnipotence is a property a person can have. But it is not had essentially by any person, as having it involves being able to do anything, includi...
You are confused. God is essentially omnipotent just as bachelor's are essentially unmarried. That's means is that it is necessary to qualify as God t...
Why are you talking about a faculty of reason? We are talking about the imperatives of Reason. Now, your view entails that Hitler did nothing wrong. W...
So, to be clear, you are claiming the we, as individuals, are the source of the imperatives of reason? So 'Reason' is just another word for Bartricks,...
It does follow. If all chickens had a single source, and it had to be an egg, then all chickens would come from that one egg (the claim that all chick...
if all imperatives of morality are imperatives of Reason, and all imperatives of Reason have a single source, then it follows logically that moral imp...
I am a divine command theorist. I arrived at the view after reflecting on the following argument: 1. Moral imperatives are imperatives of reason 2. Im...
me: provide an argument in support of your claim that God is incoherent. You: thanks. Note: I didn't ask you to be incoherent. Am I to suppose that yo...
Banno: "this bread is broken!" Me: "It's sliced bread. It's not broken, it is improved - you can make sandwiches with it" Banno: "It is broken. And to...
I do not see the problem that you want addressed. I believe in God (by which I mean an omnipotent, omniscient, omnibenevolent person). And I believe G...
No, we're talking about God. God is omnipotent. The concept of God is not omnipotent. My chair is comfy. THe concept of my chair is not comfy. You are...
Yes, can be, but isn't. Can be. Isn't. Can be. Isn't. You: but can he be? Me: yes You: is he? Me: no You: can he be? Me. Yes You: is he? Me: no You: c...
No. He's. Not. A concept is another word for an idea. God is not an idea. He's something there's an idea 'of'. Christ! So, you think that if someone h...
You either don't understand English or you've had a stroke, for this really isn't hard to understand. God can do anything. So anything you can do, God...
No 'God' is not a concept. There is the concept of God. God is what the concept is of. The concept of God is the concept of an omnipotent, omniscient,...
No, the person, not the concept. Concepts don't have abilities, people do. Now, once more, can a bachelor get married? It's yes, right? They won't be ...
No. An unmarried man is a bachelor but has the potential to be married. Do you think that makes no sense? If you think it makes sense - and you should...
God is what you're called if you're omnipotent, omniscient and omnibenevolent, just as 'bachelor' is what you are called if you're male and lack a wif...
No it doesn't. Like I say, you just can't distinguish between being able to do something and actually doing it. God is not incoherent. Try and show it...
Not necessarily. There are two ways - not one - in which God can create a stone too heavy for him to lift. He can divest himself of omnipotence. That'...
God is omnipotent, but potentially not omnipotent. What's the problem? Again, if he lacked the ability to divest himself of omnipotence, he would not ...
Yes. I know. I said that. No. Can't you read? I said I don't have a clue how he'd do it - it makes no sense. He can do things that make no sense, for ...
1. If a person is omnipotent, then they can do anything 2. If a person can do anything, then they can cease to be omnipotent 3. Therefore, if a person...
As David Lewis said, you can't refute an argument with an incredulous stare. That seems to be all you've got. Yes, God can do anything. Reason constit...
It's not my fault you can't grasp the difference between being able to realize a contradictory state of affairs and actually having done so. It is obv...
Question begging. How? How does being able to do something imply a 'lack' of power rather than possession of one? But it does and it is. I have powers...
I do not see what the problem is. How would God be omnipotent if he couldn't divest himself of his omnipotence? If God could not get rid of his omnipo...
