You can tailor any crap you want to fit your own scope of what seems like an acceptable claim, but you need to realize that ANY of these claims have logical contingencies. This is why God continues to fail. It's not your opinion that makes God a valid claim, it's how he holds up logically. Either his benevolence has no limits, or its limited. If he is limited, he's hardly a God of unlimited potential. If he's got limits of any kind, he fails as a God.In who version of God? Yours? what if you are wrong about who God is or what God should be? It doesn't mean God doesn't exist it just mean you do not understand the nature of God. Your definition of God (A boundless limitless being) is in of itself a paradox as God is limited by your understanding of how a boundless God should behave. Meaning God is not allowed to have a nature or a preference otherwise He does not fit the definition of "unlimited potential" you place on Him.
Quote:So, when you tailor His abilities to fit your opinion, you present a version of God that logically fails.Unless you can show where I have actually done this, (where my representation of God is not consistant with how He is portrayed in the bible.) then know you are making things up.
Quote: When you say that i've only shown that the God I expect fails, you are suggesting that the logic God is subject to is different than the logic everything else is.What are you talking about? You have created a version of God not consistant with How God is portrayed in Scripture.
Quote:This is another uninformed argument, as the laws of logic are absolute.And so are the defining qualities of the God of the bible. If we are having a discussion of the God of the Bible then it is by the bible the we are bound, in order to define the God it describes.
Quote: 1) Starring the logical uncertainty in the face, accepting that what you are presented is illogical and unreasonable, and choosing to continue it anywayDid I miss a post? where have you been able to prove my argument as Illogical?
Quote:2) Not having the intellectual capacity or inclination to have ever considered having such logical justification, and just holding a belief based on opinion.Opinion is simple personal belief. Facts are statements that can be proven or disproved. (facts don't have to be accepted inorder to be considered fact.) As proof of God is only limited by your desire to simply A/S/K. The 'facts' in the bible about God can indeed be considered facts because there is away to prove or disprove what is in the bible about God.
You seem to have a mix of the two.
