Re: God is

Wow you really have very little ability to discuss this... You aren't even coming up with good arguments, it is kind of frustrating being I know in your position I could do so much better . . .

I explained this to you VERY CLEARLY. If we postulate the greatest being which no greater can be conceived, then . . .

Gosh it's refreshing to know that you can do so much better in these debates than the rest of us, Mr Falsie! I'm impressed!

You've explained everything very clearly. It's just that your original argument and thus most of what you said afterward is very clearly wrong.

Re: God is

Indulge me here since as an atheist I no moral compass but what you are saying YHWH is perfect because YHWH is such a perfect failure? Nothing YHWH does goes right?

I think that is part of Unfalsifiable's argument, but not mine. God says "I the LORD created everything, whether perfect or FUBAR. I, (four vowel sounds), created all this nonsense; if you perceive something as evil or imperfect then it bears my seal, I will not blame a meddling bungler. If however, you like what you see, please come again and worship me and burn some animal flesh as it has a soothing savour."

You might even say YHWH has a wife

If you start including every, angel, daemon, and demi-god then the Hebrew pantheon is just as heavily populated as the Greek one (but not near as populous as that Catholic nonsense). For example, we know that the desert daemon Azazel had quite a lot of pull because when the earliest scapegoat rituals were performed, one goat was sacrificed to YHWH and another was sent to Azazel. That pretty much put him on equal footing in the sin department, dontcha think?

Asherah was from the Canaanite pantheon, and was brought in by people like Jezebel. I imagine that there were a few attempts to form a union between Yahweh and Asherah for political reasons...

Well, what about it? Azothoth is greater than your God. Quite ducking the question and prove Azothoth isn't.

I explained this to you VERY CLEARLY. If we postulate the greatest being which no greater can be conceived, then we are postulating the greatest being that no greater can be conceived.

Understand? So there is no sense in saying "but I can conceive of greater", that is not logical, you can't conceive greater then the greatest thing that you can conceive of.

Prove god doesn’t exist? Easy peasy, here you go.

Fact 1: Everyone agrees God is a supernatural being. No matter what culture you go to the god/goddess are not bound by natural laws.

Fact 2: We have observed no supernatural events in the observable universe. All such claims of the supernatural have not stood up to rigorous examination.

Conclusion 1. Since there no supernatural the universe must the result of a natural process.

Conclusion 2: Since there is no supernatural there is no God.

That proves God doesn't exist? Wow, that's awful, it isn't even the illustrious and respectable Hume's On Miracles which I love to talk about. (and if that is where you got it from, you are a dunce of a butcher, sir, cutting the best bits out and leaving the diseased meat) Not only do people frequently tell us they have experienced supernatural events, it doesn't matter if they are telling the truth or not. God is done with 'magic' as after he sent Jesus to die for our sins he hasn't needed to use anything more.

Christianity is not effected at all by that "argument".

Re: God is

Sorry, Atheist, your logic is false.

Take a look at my sig, and paraphrase it to argue perfection instead of goodness. YHWH never claimed to create everything perfect you see. His standards were pretty low. He created stuff and was happy when it was merely good. When it went bad, he did a flood-based p-wipe. So, his performance has been perfectly mediocre as a deity, as he is perfection itself. Is your brain big enough to follow that logic?

Also, if you believe in the Holy Trinity then that is "Three of a Perfect Pair". Even atheists agree that that is a "perfect mess".

Indulge me here since as an atheist I no moral compass but what you are saying YHWH is perfect because YHWH is such a perfect failure? Nothing YHWH does goes right?

I do NOT buy into that holy trinity nonsense because YHWH clearly said that there is NONE other. If He was lying, then you might as well throw Shai'tan into the pantheon just like every false Christian has done since Dante's day.

You might even say YHWH has a wife

Re: God is

I said the thing of which nothing greater can be conceived, you said you could conceive of greater (illogical).

Well, what about it? Azothoth is greater than your God. Quite ducking the question and prove Azothoth isn't.

you are saying how do we know what this greatest perfect God IS. You have been unable to say that he does not exist,

Prove god doesn’t exist? Easy slick, here you go.

Re: God is

Sure, a perfect deity should be able to create anything it wants, good, bad, perfect, imperfect, whatever.

The OP claimed that your god is totally incapable of creating anything perfect.

The confusion here lies in the fact that nothing can be perfect but God, pantheism covers Atheist Joe's cheeky lie.

God can create anything, even 'perfect' things as you call them, but people use the adjective perfect in sloppy unphilosophical ways. To create perfection of course, God could create himself, and we know that he is self causing so again it makes sense.

Er, no Christian has ever described a Holy Foursome. It's God, not Golf!

What, pray tell, is a p-wipe? Is it some manner of moist towelette?

Hey, this reminds me...if a tree falls in the forest, will YOU make a sound? Help save our forests...chain yourself to a tree. You can make a difference!

May we chain you to a tree instead?

Re: God is

Is a perfect God incapable of creating a perfect tree or billy-goat? Wouldn't that make God less than perfect if It only creates imperfect things?

Re: God is

I've got a pretty vivid imagination. I am imagining a being greater than God right now. Let's call Him Super Joe.

What's so special about Super Joe? Anything Jesus can do, Super Joe can do 17% better.

• He can feed 17% more families on five loaves of bread and two fish (i.e. 5850 instead of a measly 5000).
• He can create a rock 17% bigger than any rock God can create, and then lift it.
• The wine that Super Joe makes from water is 17% higher quality.
• Super Joe is 17% stronger than a unicorn.
• The people He resurrects live 17% longer.
• When He saves you, you are 17% more saved, and
• When He damns you to Hell, you will suffer 17% worse.

Hmm, Super Joe sounds like a Titan. The Titans were the fathers of the Gods (according to the Greeks who helped create Christianity). El is God the AllFather in Jewish theology and is roughly analogous to Zeus. So, it makes sense that both are the child of the Titan Kronos...

Not very nice of you to come barging in here, Hibachi, and diss a member of this Godly forum who is debating (and very effectively, I might add) some silly atheists who are hanging around here for whatever tarded reasons of their own.
