Just trying to understand this, LP:

But, if being "good" is a precondition for being God, then God couldn't have created the preconditions for himself, which would mean he didn't create the definition of good..

Well, it is a futile attempt. Carry on, if you will.

It's quickly seeming that way.

God didn't create good no. Good is what God has to be to be a creative singularity. What opposes good opposes God. And what is unjust etc, contradicts Gods nature. Hence we can know something of God.

That's quite the set of bald assertions you have there Frodo. It'd be nice to have any sort of evidence for any of them.

How did you come up with the precondition for a creative singularity (being 'good'), if there has only ever been one (God)? And I'm happy to hear that God didn't create goodness, that'll shut up a lot of other Christians.

Please point out the naked assertion fatty. Like I said, this is pure theory and not proof of anything, besides the concept of God as good being logical.
