It is what you make of it, that is imagination.
There are many ways to look at it.
Everyone thinks they are using reason.
It is what you make of it, that is imagination.
Your above is very messy which enable you to be rhetorical and deceptive in your conclusion that God exist.
Ya! I am saying the same thing to you.
True but consider it when it is the most fundamental, and the overall possitive weight of 1 and 0, against neutral weight of 1 and -1, and negative weight of -1 and 0.Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Thu Jan 26, 2023 5:20 amIf 1 is something, why should it be 'good' absolutely, unconditionally and the likes?
Is that what you are claiming is logic? Logic is using your imagination in the most pleasing way?
Well, human beings don't actually see that. We see many other things. And a god is not necessary for a person to live a peaceful and pleasing and relieving life. It is a state of being. If you want to imagine a god, that is your trip, for whatever reasons it serves you. Agreed?
According to you and your view of nature, even if God doesn't exist, the reality is a real fuck up! With that view, it doesn't help that much for God not to exist. Then why bother?popeye1945 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 26, 2023 5:08 am Life reproduces in such abundance that most of it perishes horribly in a very short time due to hunger or being eaten, life lives upon the lives of other creatures, a horrific reality there is no escape but through death. This god of yours, he is a real fuck up! There is no reason for the existence of a god given the nature of nature.

That's fine... as long as you don't insist that your imagination (or logic) exists as a reality that other people should see.

You merely assumed and you have not justified why the overall weight of 1 and 0 must be positive which must be good in an absolute sense.
As I had stated what is positive could be in reality as favored actions.

the idea of God is a mere useful illusion [of salvific value] to soothe the existential angst.

In verbal Logic (not mathematical Logic), we translate 1 as true, which is related to truth, which is an absolute good.
But ofcourse we translate 0 as false, which has a negative weight. While 0 has no weight. Maybe it would have been better to call it 'not true'.
That is why I emphasize on the mathematical Logic not the verbal Logic.
Suggest you forget about using Mathematics as an argument for the existence of God as real.Mathematical logic is the study of formal logic within mathematics.
Major subareas include model theory, proof theory, set theory, and recursion theory. Research in mathematical logic commonly addresses the mathematical properties of formal systems of logic such as their expressive or deductive power. However, it can also include uses of logic to characterize correct mathematical reasoning or to establish foundations of mathematics.

Moreover, is it like "you shall not soothe the existential angst"?
What I mean by verbal Logic is use of Logic in speech. True and False and all that.Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Thu Jan 26, 2023 6:36 amWhat is verbal logic? Common sense or primal logic?K1Barin wrote: ↑Thu Jan 26, 2023 6:22 amThis may explain:Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Thu Jan 26, 2023 6:07 am

I don't think you understand Mathematical Logic fully when you merely assign its fundamental to 1, -1 or 2.
