Hey Gnostic Atheist - prove your point
#21
RE: Hey Gnostic Atheist - prove your point
Gnostic atheist here. I assert, without doubt, that gods are not only non-existent, but also not possible, and for a simple reason.

The term "god" is utterly undefined. Ask one believer what "god" means to them in clear, concise terms, and either they won't be able to do it, or their definition will be bullshit. Because of that, I tried to define "god" for myself. I thought "What being would be great enough that I would worship it willingly?". The conclusion was obvious: a perfect being.
The next problem was defining "perfect being". I realized that three properties were fundamental in a perfect being: omniscience, omnipotence, and benevolence. Toss paradoxes associated with each of those into the mix, along with paradoxes associated with the different combinations and the paradoxes associated with those properties and reality, and you've got yourself a non-existent being.
And no, I did not "define god into non-existence". I defined the one being that would make me bow down and worship it. I defined perfection (from my perspective). Surprise surprise, perfection is an impossible concept. However, if that being did exist, it would be perfect. I await now for you to point out the problems you see with my post.
The truth is absolute. Life forms are specks of specks (...) of specks of dust in the universe.
Why settle for normal, when you can be so much more? Why settle for something, when you can have everything?
