Forgive the bad formatting, posting from a phone.
You said
Quote:Good is what God has to be to be a creative singularity
Which is a flat assertion of what the preconditions of a creative singularity are, not to mention the supposition that singularities
can be creative.
Also, that's not a theory, is a handful of guesses that can't be falsified or tested or examined.

Like I said fatty, I'd love to hear your defence of a self destructive or non creative creative singularity. In my mind that is completely contradictory, on a very basic level. You can't just keep saying "oh no it isn't" without offering some alternate proposition.
It's not a precondition. If it was then this isn't that singularity. Something came before.

If you can't be god without being good, I think I can safely say that Yahweh is not god.

Uh, actually I can. I can point at bullshit and call it what it is. The existence of and character of God are questions that I don't have an answer for. That's why I don't claim to have answer. I'm not arguing for anything, I'm saying your argument is circular, arbitrary and hopelessly flawed.

At this point I'm not even sure what you're trying to argue Frodo. It's a giant mishmash of presuppositions and circular reasoning. Congratulations pigeon, you've shat all over the chessboard, call it a victory if you like.

Might as well use it to clean your birdshit off the chessboard.
