And don't ask me to show that my vacuum cleaner is indeed noncontingent actuality, it is so by definition and that it manifests itself also as my vacuum cleaner has nothing to do with the fact that it is non-contingent actuality.A vacuumcleaner is an object in spacetime which is composed of matter.
Purple Rabbit Wrote:It's impure actuality is not a matter of definition but empirical observation.
How dare you to speak with such tone about the almighty vacuum cleaner. Was Jezus physical body impure and unworthy of celestial dictatorship? Not according to your doctrine I think. Would you conclude from empirical observation of Jezus in his impure physical embodiment that he could not be god? Think again.
Purple Rabbit Wrote:It depends on something else in spacetime for its existence. It depends on a causal procession prior to itself for it's own actuality and formation. Indeed, it depends on the very existence of spacetime for it's own existence. This is radical contingency.If that's true for my vacuum cleaner than it is true for the Christ that once walked the earth. Still the RC doctrine claims that Christ and the non-contingent actuality are one and the same. You should be happy with my vacuum cleaner as a physical manifestation of the non-contingent actuality.
Do some sincere repetence, kneel and pray in awe to my vacuum cleaner or he'll suck you into an eternal whirling frenzie.
