Yay. Chad lets loose another furball of vapid assertions without support, and fallacy ridden arguments in an effort to sneak his rather patently obvious ontological "where the fuck did that get in here" anti-naturalism in under the worst invisibility cloak ever. I think Tex is off in deep waters without so much as a candy life saver, but it's good to know that whatever simplistic tripe can be thought of to attack theism, some theist will come along and up the ante with tripe that's twice as absurd and inane.
You really should give up philosophy, Chad, because you really suck at it. For completeness, the possibility you omitted in your rush to appeal to the fallacy of the excluded middle is, beyond this particularly configured universe, beyond the idea that all possible universes exist, is the possibility that a universe unlike this one could possibly exist. At this point, we simply don't know enough about the class of things labeled 'universes' to say much more than that we know this particular one exists (or seems to exist). That you want to rush to fill that gap in our knowledge with "metaphysics" and planks so obviously stolen from your religious agenda that they have "Made in Swedenborg" stamped all over them, is just mind numbingly stupid, not to mention intellectually dishonest. Another fine showing from you. What on earth possesses you to believe you have any business in metaphysics, or any other field of philosophy? It's patently obvious to this reader that, to you, philosophy is nothing but a hammer you can use to drive home your religious agenda. You have no morals and scruples, and you go way, way out of your way to hate on atheists, atheism, and the secular worldview; and you have the gall to impugn my motives as a religious hater? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! You're such a massive hypocrite and hater, I guess it's the only model of human behavior you're familiar with, so you could only assume that I was one too because you can't imagine any other way to be. Scratch the surface of any religious apologist, and just under the surface you'll find seething hatred fueled by a sense of entitlement. This is obviously the case here, as amply demonstrated by your bile in the thread on the cross at Mt. Soledad.
