Speaking of philosophy, now that this is in the philosophy section..can you flesh out why or how asserting a god, or the god of the bible, violates the primacy of existence?

Gladly Gae,

It violates it by affirming the primacy of consciousness,  e.g., the various doctrines of creation, of faith, of prayer, of "God's plan", of miracles, etc. In the act of asserting a god, one is making use of the primacy of existence in making the claim that a god exists while in the content of the claim, affirming the primacy of consciousness.  Therefore one is saying that existence exists independent of consciousness and there also exists a consciousness on which existence is dependent.  It's a self-contradictory statement.   

Here is an essay that goes into detail:  http://katholon.com/Theism_vs_Primacy-of-Existence.htm
