Oh do get off your soap box, you sound like a pound shop Che Guevara. We'll come to those other issues shortly, I just want to establish some common g...
'God' denotes a person who is omnipotent, omniscient and omnibenevolent. And time is made of the properties or relations of pastness, presentness and ...
Yes, that which has been stolen should be returned, other things being equal. Why do you ask? If I own something and you take it without my permission...
No, you said that creating something doesn't entail that one is subject to it. Which was a dumb thing to say as I had in no way implied otherwise. The...
You seem to agree with my conclusion, but on - I would say - misguided grounds. I don't consider scripture to be evidence - or at least, I don't think...
Nothibg you are saying is making sense. No, I don't think might makes right. How on earth did you get that from anything I said?! I think it is rare t...
I think it could be different to a degree, but not totally different. The reason being that it is by means of our experiences of time - our temporal s...
I am anti tax. Why should I have to pay for your education or healthcare or, you know, any of your costs whatsoever? Whatever you cost, pay for yourse...
Yeah, good job just ignoring the actual case I made. So, if time exists, you think Godwould not be subject to it? Explain. Explain how God can exist, ...
What you say is clearly false. Of course God can choose whether to be subject to time or not. That's the point! How, though? Well, time would have to ...
So you meant 'time' and elected to use the word 'something'to express that? A word that doesn't mean 'time'and is considerably longer. Clever. Good jo...
No, you said this: See? You said 'something' not 'time'. So you - you - imputed to me the absurd view that if one has created something, one is subjec...
No I didn't and no I didn't. I didn't say that if one creates anything one is then subject to it. I said that if one creates time then one is subject ...
I didn't say it did. I am talking about time specifically. If God - hell, if I - create a chair, I am not thereby 'subject' to the chair. So chairs ca...
Yes, she is not bound by the law as it is her law. But as she is telling us that no true proposition is also false, we can safely assume that it is in...
Confused gibberish. Once more, I am a bachelor. Does that mean I am incapable of taking a wife? No, obviously not. It has nothing to do with 'all'. Th...
Yes, but your book is unpublished nonsense. Read what I have said again and explain how the fact an omnipotent being 'can' create a stone that he can'...
What point? Omnipotence is a property of a person. It's not the person. It's a property of the person. God is a person who has that property (by defin...
Yes, that's right Hugh. If you'd been paying attention, you'd have noticed that I said God is by definition omnipotent. However, that's just a conting...
No, I have never said that. Indeed, a cursory survey of what I have said will tell you that I do not believe that anything 'must' be so, as I think th...
I have done this several times now, but you have this firm conviction - do you not - that I am confused and talking nonsense. And this conviction is s...
No they're not. Christ. What's the point in me presenting the case again when you don't seem capable of grasping it? Once more: to be all powerful req...
No I'm not. Same story. God can do anything. So he can do that. And that. And that. And that. Can God create a stone too heavy for him to lift? Yes. C...
I prefer the red tree, but though clearly not entirely insensitive to the aesthetic aspect to reality, she's not tracking it particularly well if she'...
It's a good analogy. There are minds. Some of them qualify as bachelors. Those that qualify as bachelors do so becasue they are inhabiting male wifele...
I just presented an argument showing why morality is God's creation. Here: And yes, I do not believe that omnipotence requires having to have created ...
Oh good grief, do pay attention. Yes, he can overcome logic (whatever that means) because he can do anything. Logic must, therefore, be God's creation...
It matters because free will is intrinsically valuable, or so says our reason. And it matters as well because if we don't have free will then we aren'...
Well, your beliefs are just that: your beliefs. Justify them. Minds are not made of matter. I have fourteen arguments for that conclusion. Do you have...
These are just assertions, not arguments. It seems quite obvious that having all power does involving having free will, for lacking free will would be...
God is by definition all-powerful. Thus God is not constrained by morality, but must instead be its creator. For if he were not its creator, then ther...
You don't seem to be following the dialectic. I was asked if God had a sex. I said that he did not, as he is a mind and minds do not have sexes. And I...
Like I say, if you think there is no intrinsic difference between a 'female' mind and a 'male' mind, then your view is equivalent to mine. It's just y...
I said this: That's true. If you have evidence that brains have certain components, then to get from that to the conclusion that minds have those comp...
Yes, but there is nothing intrinsic to the mind itself that makes it male or female. Your wife's mind in a male body would be categorized by you as a ...
No it doesn't. When you had your lobotomy, part of your brain was removed. So you went from having 100% of a brain to having 95%. But you yourself wer...
So, minds do not have sexes on your view then, rather bodies do and all you really mean by a 'female' mind is a mind that is inhabiting a body that is...
Brute possibilities are not evidence. Another alternative is that minds are bits of cheese, in which case minds would go nicely with crackers. But the...
I am not my body. I am a mind. I have a body. I am not my body. I have a car. I am not my car. I have some shoes. I am not my shoes. I have a house. I...
So, what makes a mind 'female' is simply the sex of the body it first inhabited? Is that your view? I am just seeking clarity: want to get my bazooka ...
Er, what? What we know from experience, boyo, is that brains have such components, not that minds do. To get from the former conclusion to the latter ...
You are asking me different questions, not the same question. God is a mind. Just as you are and I am. God thinks with her mind. Just as I do and you ...
I refer to God as he and she arbitrarily, for such terms serve to underline that this is a person we are talking about. But she is not actually a he o...
And what about her mind makes it female? Imagine, for instance, that her body is, in fact, a cleverly disguised male one. Is your wife's mind still fe...
