Define God

@neologist,

You don't get the point...let me go on full steam...God is restricted to God ! God being everything is restricted to being everything...the power of God cannot be restricted in the sense that there is no other power outside of everything power to counter power or restrict the power of God...Nothingness is nothing...and the absolute is restricted only to itself....that said God as a timeless Whole is powerless once DEFINED COMPLETE and PERFECT !

...sometimes I wish I met William Lane Craig in one of those pilgrimages he does around some University's with his lecturing s...that would prove an interesting exercise...the Science blokes are just not equipped to tackle him in his own game...they know nothing of Metaphysics, obviously they trump and are caught in the lamest contradictions...

GOD acronym for GENERATOR, OPERATOR, DESTROYER.

You just did. Whether you are totally correct is another question.

@neologist,

However it is true; you must provide evidence to the contrary, not just ask the question.

@cicerone imposter,

How complete a definition is a mere synonym? I guess the most adequate synomym* for god is "creator" (closest to Pataria's "generator"?).

*(what Pataria meant instead of acronym)

@JLNobody,

A "creator" has never been proven. The universe continues to expand. Who's the creator?

The question (suggestion) is 'define God' . Pataria did, more eloquently than many who have posted, less specifically than others. What's your point?

Why a question?

Real proof might prove painful. But, yes, no irrefutable arguments have yet to be advanced. Nor has it been possible to prove the negative.

Irrelevant.

Good question. Deserves an answer.

If you know anything about logic, it's almost impossible to prove a negative.

I prefer to lean on the side of "it doesn't exist if I or nobody else can't observe it."

It's also nearly impossible to parse a double negative. I think you mean if you can't observe something, it must not exist. But not all observations are direct, so what are your standards?

Any time you're in the San Francisco Bay Area, just let me know. We can share a few b.s. time with some brew.

Don't get south all that much lately. Carole and I spend a lot of time traveling the Pacific Northwest. But, if you're ever in Seattle. . . .
