Description
From "How Convenient: Cop-outs about God":
"The only way one can, theoretically and according to theists, know God to any appreciable degree, is after death when our souls ascend to Heaven-which is reportedly the domain of the Deity himself. But since death prevents any of these people from reporting back to us-and if they had, it would still be a case of improvable speculation-then this is never something any of us can know for certain.
How convenient.
From "Thatness And Whatness: What is God?":
From "Thatness And Whatness: What is God?":
If God is not made of matter or of anything humans can comprehend, then God, is in a very real way, NOT REAL. If we cannot perceive God, then, why would we believe in him? If we cannot experience God, since God is non-matter, how could he possibly exist to begin with? And why don't Christians who peddle this, while simultaneously admitting they don't really know, just admit that they are agnostic?
Slippery slope, that.
From "The Omni-Everything":
There are the common ideas about the nature or essence of God. These attributes are at once a conundrum of "Godly" proportions. There are also the lesser-known, or lesser-mentioned attributes of God that have arisen from various ad hoc situations in which a contradiction appears, and an explanation is then provided to explain that contradiction. It's rather like the situation a pathological liar finds himself in: one lie is told, and another is inevitably added to cover the discrepancy that arises from the previous lie, so that another lie must eventually be told to clear up that discrepancy, and so on, ad infinitum. The irony is that the explanation is almost always a contradiction in itself, and so the debate continues and the confusion gets compounded.
