No, goblygoop isn't logic, you told us it wasn't very plainly...that's the whole point of proposing goblygoop in the first place - so that a hypothetical god, in a hypothetical universe...can do illogical things like making 2+2=5.
Goblygoop is illogical, because goblygoop is a set of rules (loosely put) that exist for no other purpose than to facilate the illogical in your hypothetical. If your hypothetical god, in your hypothetical unverse, operates on logical rules...then there's no need for goblygoop at all...but then, I suppose, it couldn;t make 2+2=5. This is extremely simple....I'm not sure why you seem to think you can have illogical logic. You can have a coherent set of rules, if you like, different than the ones we call logic. Bobs to our Freds. We've already agreed on that...if things were different, things would be different.
However, insisting that Bob -is- Fred, is pointless...and, amusingly, illogical. This is a basic principle, a law even, called identity. It may not be in goblygoop-land, but it is here...and here, to be logical, or to be logic, is to adhere to a certain set of rules..which you are adamantly determined to avoid in the case of your hypothetical god. Your use of the term, as such...is an equivocation. Again, that may not be an issue in goblygoop-land.......but it is here.
You've huffed and puffed about me not accepting the hypothetical, but you're the only one who seems to have a problem with it. Can we get over your ludicrous need to have the god of goblygoop considered to be a logical god and get back to the non-sequitur you proposed it in defense of...or are you going to waste more of our time?
