All I see from you, Steve, are ad hoc assertions.
Quote:However, the Molinist view is that God not only has knowledge of necessary truths and contingent truths but that God's middle knowledge contains, but is not limited to, His knowledge of counterfactuals. The Molinist believes that God, using his middle knowledge and foreknowledge, surveyed all possible worlds and then actualized a particular one.Other than your imagination, what basis do you have for taking any of these assertions seriously?
Quote:Of course one should be damn sure a command comes from God.Again, I ask, from what basis are you claiming that any commands have ever originated from any "God"?
Quote:The definition of God is "the greatest conceivable being". If there could be a greater being, then that would be God. This definition means that He is morally perfect since it is better to be morally perfect than morally flawed (and therefore wouldn't be the greatest conceivable being).Did this arise from your imagination again? What in reality can you offer as evidence to confirm that anything you say contains even an iota of truth in it? The things you claim are fantasies and nothing else, made apparent to us by all the other believers of deities and wild conspiracies who also offer a lot of speculation but no evidence. Most of us are actually concerned with 'objective' reality that can be vivisected by carefully specified concepts, methodologies, instruments, and theories, the reality Dawkins was referring to in the quote you took out of context to mean the perspective "we're left with" concerning the worth of life.
