But that's illogical. Wait, god can't be illogical. Shit, can he? No, he's perfect, so of course not.......but it's still not logical. Consilius, can you clear this up for me?

God cannot make himself not to exist because that would be self-contradictory, and, since God is truth, he cannot contradict himself. Also illogical and non-existent.
Something that does not exist cannot be done.
But now I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret is as though it had an underlying truth.
