There, now I've brainstormed too Big Grin

On a serious note, why do you start with conclusions? You can arbitrarily assert anything is infinite or ultimate and capitalise these words if it so please you, but all that demonstrates is the ability to make assertions. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for brainstorming, but this seems like a dead end. You're making a series of unsupported, indemonstrable assertions which, if your posts in the past are anything to go by (and correct me if I'm wrong), you'll then suggest we actually know to be true because a god has imparted this knowledge into us. This isn't a discussion of possibilities if that's the case, it's you saying "this is true just because".

Hmm...well these premises seem true to me. When I think of the "should not" torture the child, the authority of it seems to have no limit, it's unlimited and to the highest degree possible.

So yes I think it leads to conclusion to God, but it's not necessarily circular to state how I feel of the "should not torture a child for fun" command in me.
