Characteristics of God

At another forum site a very thoughtful Spectrum deviates slightly OT by discussing not Her definition but Her characteristics, so herewith an OP to open the topic for further discussion. He asserts,



The apodicictical existential pantheist endorses the idea. Obviously if She is everything, then She is everywhere at all times. The idea of matter on one hand and an Immaterial Being on the other is dualistic while of corse Dualism is rife with contradictions and paradoxes



No. She obviously can’t do the impossible because the impossible can’t be done. If She could, for instance, She might make Herself both exist and not exist



Not if you accept “free will”. If She were omnicient then we’d have to assume She knows the future in its entirety, in which case determinism is the case and free will is dead. While the Determinist has a pretty solid argument we can’t live with it else we’d be constantly subdued in a state of hopeless funk



Purely a semantic issue. Benevolence is relative to the observer. To the porker intelligence would be considered a curse and we would be considered manifestly evil for hanging him up by his hind legs and slitting his throat so he bleeds to death, then slaughtering and eating him

The porker would be more kindly. He might round us up and keep us in muddy pens but he wouldn’t torture us
