The Christian God is interpreted in so many different ways -- and I haven't done nearly enough research on Christian history or the Bible to comment too much otherwise -- that it's hard to debate with you about it and know that we're talking about the same thing. That being said, I agree that there are some ridiculous beliefs about God that are just plain unsound know matter how you try to spin it.
In exodus, God confronts Moses by appearing as a burning bush. He tells moses to rescue the Israelites from egypt, where they are currently enslaved. Moses asks God what his name is, and God says his name is "I am." That is open to much interpretation, yes, but as he is actually HAVING a CONVERSATION with someone, and he is making decisions, he is SENTIENT. This whole abstract "absolute truth" BS cannot fit.
I think of the Christian God as omnipotent. omnipresent, and omniscient, that he was also Jesus, and that he "am who am." I think we can at least agree that this is at least a broad, but general, start to the Christian definition of God.
If you think he is also jesus, or that jesus isn't the son of christ, then you hold Jewish beliefs.
Assuming for fuck's sake that God exists and he is omnipotent. Well, an omnipotent being would also be able to stratify himself such that he would be less than himself at the same time that he is himself. To that extent of Jesus and his relationship with God as de facto (basically the crux of 'christ'ianity), plausible based on the commonly held beliefs about the Christian god.
Why are we assuming for fuck's sake that God exists? Isn't that what we are debating right now? I'm not just going to assume he exists because you tell me to.
Your problem with premise 1 is because you have problems with premise 2. You can't empirically 'prove' anything because of the problem of induction. You can only 'prove' within a certain margin of error, and if you find any academic article that asserts a conclusion without allowing a margin of error (e.g. The results indicate a positive correlation between x and y, p < .05), then they totally fucked the scientific method.
Actually, no, my problem with premise one is NOT because I have a problem with premise 2. It's because God cannot equal absolute truth. It doesn't work. Absolute truth is not a sentient thing.
True logic exists according to what the rules of logic indicate true logic to be. Logic is a closed system, and it's a self-reinforcing system. When you try to break this system, you will find that it's impossible too because it will automatically lead yourself to a contradiction.
Yes, and your logic is flawed. The truth of your argument you can see above "Assuming for fuck's sake that god exists and he is omnipotent." You believe this because you think that god is absolute truth, but god cannot be absolute truth because absolute truth is not sentient and god is.
It's absolutely impossible to deny absolute truth. To deny absolute truth is to say it is the absolute truth there is no absolute truth. If you say truth is relative, you are saying it is the absolute truth that truth is relative. If you say there is more than one absolute truth, then you are saying that it is the absolute truth that...well...you get it.
This is just some abstract bullshit that is part of a completely different argument. I don't give a fuck whether absolute truth exists, because it has nothing to do with the existence of god.
