I will be using the definitions of god and atheism and other words from the following three sources: Mirriam Webster dictionary, Oxford dictionary, Wiki. None of the definitions are logically possible, unless it is not a god one is talking about. At some point a set of accepted definition has to be settled on, and I heard that those two dictionaries are considered to be the best ones. Wiki has some good articles regarding the currently defined strengths of atheism, so I'll be using those too.(July 27, 2010 at 5:55 pm)theVOID Wrote: Oh, and i would love to see you back up that pure assertion that all gods are logical impossibilitiesThe assertion can be completely destroyed by postulating a God who by definition is logically possible.
Of course, then you'd get into a debate over what a "God" was.
That would mean you are only disproving one definition of God... You just moved the goalposts forward like 200m. Ultimately god is defined by the person making the claim and backing up the claim that all gods are logical impossibilities is in my opinion an impossible task, the general definitions in Websters and oxford are only intended as summaries and generalizations, oxford and webster's are not an authoritative source on this subject.
As far as disproving a single definition of God, I'm pretty sure you will be able to do it.
