Ok...so what do you think Ali Baba, Prince of Thieves says about my argument? Or Big Bird? I'd love to know what Big Bird thinks of it. I'm a huge fan of his.
Quote:So, you see the word "There is nothing like unto Him", as him being a thing ?
Even the word "thing" can't apply to him according that verse.
No, that's not necessarily what it's saying. If a thing is unique, then it is perfectly reasonable to say there is "nothing else like unto" it and still be describing a thing. Nothing in that text precludes it from talking about a thing.
Quote:I don't think so. It's not like you gave an evidence that convinced me.
Special Pleading is defined as follows:
Quote:Special Pleading is a fallacy in which a person applies standards, principles, rules, etc. to others while taking herself (or those she has a special interest in) to be exempt, without providing adequate justification for the exemption.
Because your argument hinges on Gaud being the only part of reality that doesn't have to follow the rule that everything must be the product of an action without adequate justification for why he doesn't have to follow that rule, your argument is special pleading. Pure and simple.
So there. I gave the definition of Special Pleading, and showed how your argument clearly meets it. If you claim to need more evidence than that, you're not honest.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
