He’s real. It’s observable. Get over it.

What it means to exist, to be something, to have traits and embody the things he sets in motion

See above. I could have simply said ‘He is’. My bad

Sure, but none of us really "know" what any of those mean. We don't "know" what a "first mover" looks like, or what it means to be "made in his image."

This is what I'm saying - unless you are God, all positive descriptions can't truly reflect what God *is.*

Of course we do. The reason he is a male and a great man is because there are objective contraries and contradictions that have proceeded from the creation of the universe. Most notably the contraries of ‘Good’ and ‘Evil’. You would expect God to be completely good right?

Answer this and I’ll tell you where we can go with this discussion

I would expect God (whatever that means) to be totally above such concepts of "good" and "evil", desu

>>11166416
Well, humans create ideas of "good" and "evil" by judging certain events according to their limited point of view. I would imagine that God would not see things in such small terms, since God would exist in a state so beyond ordinary human awareness that "good" and "evil" don't make sense.

Consider this: all contraries have to be composed of a material that doesn’t change.

This is not the case with contradictories, which are essentially principles.

What is the ‘material’ for which the contraries Good and Evil are assigned? Since it is Aristotle I’m assuming you’re reasoning with
