Are Theists Illogical for Believing in God?

(June 10, 2010 at 2:39 pm)The_Flying_Skeptic Wrote: spherical triangles... ugh. why did you even bring that up? it's a tangent that there is a group of shapes called spherical triangles. You can't think of a universe were x = x would not be a starting point because it's illogical. it's like saying God can do the logically impossible or the illogical like make edged circles... Sure you can say it but it's senseless. this discussion parallels arguments against a deity that doesn't need to be created, and you're the one saying 'God exists outside of our universe, he doesn't need to be created.' You're reasoning looks the same: "just because you can't imagine it or find reason in it, doesn't mean it's not true"

We're talking about other universes here. In our own universe, the rules of our logic apply.

Something akin to 'god' might exist in another universe- no reason why not. But in our universe, 'god' is incoherent nonsense.

As for spherical triangles- you're the one who brought the subject of triangles up. I agree that its tangential to the thread.
He who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.
Mikhail Bakunin
