The argument from power.
#31
RE: The argument from power.
All things are created good, and negative existence (Evil) is like negative numbers and has no real life, that is why deadness and negative void of where you neither die or live, is given regarding the state of evil.

So what I meant by things is their living aspect from God, not negative aspects.

And what is meant by ultimate is the ultimate positive form.

Negative traits of things don't exist in reality, they exist only with respect to shadows rebelling against God and realms of negative opposition to God.

God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!

Nope.  Regardless of whatever their actual origin turns out to be, all things are neutral until they interact with something else.  At that point, "good" and "bad" may be added as value judgments depending on how that interaction is perceived.

The same goes double for God.

Will is magical and proof of magic Jo and so is love.

Even if that were true, it fails to address the root of the problem.

No it isn't.

In fact if you have to use will power to curb your baser desires then you aren't that good, for example.:

Some one looks at a lot of young girls and wants to whisk them off to torture and abuse them, but uses his will power to resist.

A man looks at some girls and does not have those desires.


The non-rapey one is more "good", "gooder" whatever, you get my point.

Therefore will power is not needed to be good therefore god does not exist.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

There is no problem as I've shown in reply and as for:

"Man can do what he wills but he cannot will what he wills." ~ Arthur Schopenhauer

That is akin to saying you can't love what you love which is meaningless. You definitely will what you will, and impact future will by what you willed in the past, and will grows depending on us.

I'm not sure what to make of this but just to say to hold on when I clarify each premise and reason, you will get what I mean.
