But Atheists will say greatness is all subjective or that there is no connection between objective greatness and God.......OR.......an atheist might say that they do believe in objective greatness and refer to -anything other than god, anything- as the standard for said greatness. You recall my standard, right? Waffles.
Quote:I think if you believe there is objective greatness, you will have to believe all possible greatness has an existence and origin and basis that by which we experience objective greatness. I think relative experience of greatness relies on objective greatness existing as well.You don't "think" that, you "faith" it. Thought implies a modicum of effort.
Quote:But such arguments are not knock out arguments. But I still believe this a good reason to believe in God.You believe that your lazy faithing is a good reason to believe in god? Well, we already knew you believed in strange things...so, I guess it's par for the course. You're still my boy, believe that - but I'm kind of disappointed on this one.
(whats with the recent trend, btw, of defining god as something else, just about anything other than god...and then attempting to prove that other things exists? Is there some problem, some difficulty with simply proving that god exists? Or simply stating that some thing about god, rather than this other thing..is a good reason to believe in god?)
