A good argument for God's existence (long but worth it)

RE: A good argument for God's existence (long but worth it)
Quote:It is insane to think we would know what ultimate greatness would be and how it would act, while there is no connection to it.

 Nope I can easily envision . The contrary is simply an excuse to get you personal deity off the hook . And for you to escape having to defend it because you can't. it's as silly as saying


Quote:reasoning would get every criminal off of every crime. Everyone could say, in every court of law, “Well, just because you can’t think of a reason I was totally justified in doing that, does not allow you to conclude I’m guilty.” And when the jury asked, why they won’t then tell them what their defense is, everyone could say “Hey, it’s way too complicated for you to understand, so I can’t tell you what it is.” This no more works for God than it would work for any criminal whatever. If someone can’t explain any good reason why they committed or permitted a crime, the only rational conclusion is that they are probably guilty of the crime. As for criminals, so for God. Worse for God, really. After all, what are the odds a being that knows everything, doesn’t know how to explain anything

No such rule exists
