I mean like them holding each other in check. If unicorns don't exist, they continue to not exist. If they do, they continue to exist. But...that would still mean there would be something they could not do, so...

I've heard Christians claim that god created the laws of logic.
If so (you can still reply that he didn't), why would he be bound by them? Also, how do you know a non-physical being is invulnerable for certain?
