Q: What is trans-galactic, eternal and omni-everything? A: God, necessarily?
#3
RE: Q: What is trans-galactic, eternal and omni-everything? A: God, necessarily?
I tried to give the most fitting answer for each category.

I answered E2

Why:
As I understood the question and the answer, I feel as though we have enough present knowledge to seriously doubt the accounts of an active Abrahamic God. This is different from my general epistemic understanding of god in general. If you make a claim about a general god, I will likely fall back to the philosophy of science/logic to describe why I reject the hypothesis of god. You get to keep making your claims, I get to think about how your claims are any different from those of a pastafarian.

I answered R5

Why:
That seems to be an attribute of the Abrahamic god which everyone agrees on. For example, R9 also seems like a good representation of modern Christian thought, but I can also see the Westboro baptist Church saying something along the lines of "god does not comfort the trans community and that is why their suicide rates are so high".

I answered A13

Why: Of all of the theology I have been taught over my life, this is one of the most important ideas imparted. All the other ones seem to be reasonable from the Christian perspective, but Omnipotence pretty much gives theologians an answer for everything.


I answered P19

Why: Go Freud. . .kinda.

I answered F20

Why: Fuck you and your polls!
