Really? Great!
Marvin the Amazing Pancake, Creator of the Universe and Lord of Everything, demands your obeisance! Kneel before Marvin or be condemned to The Griddle for Eternity!!!
No, I don't have to prove a word of that rubbish. That would be a "silly epistemological approach demonstrating the lack of understanding on the unbeliever's side."
It always amazes me how much these chumps use the very same burden of proof that they try and dodge.
God is a remarkably simple entity. As a non-physical entity, a mind is not composed of parts, and its salient properties, like self-consciousness, rationality, and volition, are essential to it. In contrast to the contingent and variegated universe with all its inexplicable quantities and constants, a divine mind is startlingly simple. Certainly such a mind may have complex ideas—it may be thinking, for example, of the infinitesimal calculus—, but the mind itself is a remarkably simple entity
Yeah, right. The all-powerful, all-knowing, eternal, ineffable, undetectable Creator of the Universe is "simple". Pull the other one, it has bells on for the Holidaze.
The only way in which god is simple is by virtue of being a self-contradictory nonentity.
Now beg for Marvin's Divine Mercy you worthless wretch!
