There is a cargo cult in the Pacific that worships Prince Philip as a god, and I've seen Prince Philip so I'm pretty certain he exists. Which means I've been wrong about my atheism all this time because God exists and he lives in Buckingham palace!
Nice try.That is not my logic.
Quote:Suppose the earth were populated by 3 human beings A,B,C
And suppose A valued a set of qualities X,B valued a set of qualities Y and C valued a set of qualities Z.
Another human being D enters the picture
Supposed D had a set of qualites X and suppose the X that D possesses far surpasses the X possessed by A
Then D would be Superior to A.
But D would still be inferior in every aspect to B and C if the intersection of X(D) and Y(B) and Z© would be a null set.Even if it weren't a null set then the X(D) would still have to surpass the intersection of Y(B) and Z©.
If D(X) were to surpass A(X),B(Y) and C(Z) then D(X) would be superior everyone on planet earth.Therefore it would be fair to say that D is a superior being.
Prince philip must've showed some characteristics to the cult that made his superior to them or somehow entwined the good being of the tribe with the impression prince philip had on the tribe.Like he must've done them some favors.So please him more/workship him then he will provide more favors.
Now unless some characteristics important to you is possessed by Prince Philip and he is way more superior in it than you THEN YOU can consider him to be a god(YOUR god as per definition,as others may or may not share your same views).That is the reason i'm saying that a god to be characterized as a god would have to posses all the set of qualities humans possess in a superior form.
As in superior to us in every (important)aspect.
@Alex K, Undermining me would not make your argument any more true or make my argument any less true.
As i said,i do not matter,my existence is irrelevant,it doesn't matter if i am a troll(not that i'm admitting to be).Ideas matter.
