@gamble8008

That was such an intelligent comment, seriously, I don't know how you came up with such words of wisdom...

[CeraSeptem]

To prove God you really should do it faster.

Boring.

What is god?

[Mkvine]

God is a deity in theist and deist religions and other belief systems, representing either the sole deity in monotheism, or a principal deity in polytheism.

[jkeaty2]

Soooo, what is a deity? what is it's Ontology?

[Mkvine]

A deity is a postulated preternatural or supernatural being, who is not ALWAYS of significant power (as the greek god weren't all that powerfull),they were also worshipped, thought holy, divine, or sacred, held in high regard, and respected by human beings.

[jkeaty2]

This is where we come across a stumbling block. A supernatural being is a being that is beyond nature, or simply NOT nature, thereby making this primary attribute a negative attribute that tells us what it is not, but fails to tell us what it is.

Before an intelligible discourse can be achieved, according to the laws of logic, the law of identity or what this thing is must be met prior to determining if it exists.

[jkeaty2]

For thousands of years, this debate has drudged on without getting anywhere.

The primary attribute has been ignored by both parties of the discourse, because it is assumed that both are speaking about the same thing, whereas the subject matter is blurred.

Given the importance of this subject, it should be held to the same criteria as everything else for logical determination, maybe moreso.

[isomerised]

God is Love. If you have Love, then God lives in you and you will discover Him.

[jkeaty2]

saying that a god's primary attribute is an emotion used as an abstraction, and thus holds only as a secondary attribute, thereby not telling me what it is.

You fail

[isomerised]

You assumed that I used it as an abstraction. I dont fail.

[jkeaty2]

look at a dictionary.

Double fail

[isomerised]

More assumptions. How do you know how I understand love?

[jkeaty2]

Now you redefine it?

Oh bravo bravo!

Mind telling me what god is ?
