And as I've already said, the issue of whether God is ontologically complex is not about whether God actually exists; if it was, EvF would not claim that God is complex in theory without conceding his existence; but he does, because it's not a matter of existence, but of the implicit ontology in hypothesis.
The reason why he is nontemporal is the reason why he is simple; namely, that he is pure actuality(evidence please), ]with nothing of potentiality and composition (evidence please). That he is non-temporal (evidence please) makes a difference to the measure of complexity, whereas the essential simplicity lies in his pure actuality (evidence please).
The people who are the most bigoted are the people who have no convictions at all.
