>god

I am a Deist because God made the Universe perfectly and does not need to intervene.

Theophany: The Neoplatonic Philosophy of Dionysius the Areopite by Eric Perl is the best introduction to Platonic theology.

>Forms exist
>The source of Forms must be singular and precede Form itself: God

>>11495959
I agree with this. People who think it's imperfect just need to grow up and accept some responsibility for their own shit.

>>11495844
Wrong. God is the complete opposite. God is nature and technology is Satanic defiance, that forbidden fruit of Eden.

>Forms exist

>>11495991
Plato didn't understand Parmenides correctly but ultimately Heraclitus was the right one all along.

>>11495833
>What is God like?

Nobody knows, and the people who think they do are liars.

The only correct answer.

>>11496009
The form of the smug anime girl post precedes your smug anime girl post, ergo forms exist, and the God beyond form exists.

>The form of the smug anime girl post precedes your smug anime girl post
nope

People have smug anime girl posted before your particular anime girl post. Your particular post shares a same quality or nature as other particular smug anime girl posts, yet your particular smug anime girl post is a different post to other smug anime girl posts. What quality allows different particular smug amime girl posts to partake in the same nature or quality of smug anime girl postness yet be a different smug anime girl post?

>>11496195
Smug anime girl posts, as a physical entity, proceed the idea of a smug anime girl post.
First anons post smug anime girls, then the idea of a smug anime girl post is compiled in the minds of man. The physical reality of man is what gives rise to ideas, which are proceeded by that which is real in the universe.

Wrong answer. Smug anime girl posting is discovered, not created. Like numbers or the laws of mathematics, it exists prior to our first use of the form.

What if the two first smug anime girl posters did not know the other had first smug anime posted and made SAGPs in different threads unaware the other had posted the form first, how did they partake in the same form of SAGPness without awareness? What if a newfriend who has never seen a SAGP decided to SAGP on his own intuition?

And what of the real first SAG poster? How do they all partake in the SAGP form when there is no one post to precede their post (either objectively for the first SAGPer or particularly for the unaware fresh SAGPer?) If the form of SAGP is only created by and after the first SAGP, who or what is the uncaused cause of smug anime posting as a category?

bug is etymologically related to boogie, still afraid of the boogiemen, child?
why don't you go back to /pol/, here we have these scary things called original thought and ideas, it's much safer in the reddit hivemind

>>11495833
>What is God like?
I don't know.
>What reasons do you have to believe that?
I don't know.
>Can you recommend some books that elaborate further on your views?
I don't know.

Umm if you're struggling with insect metaphors perhaps you should go back to >>>/int/ and work on the ESL sweetie.

>being so insecure as to call someone a child online in an attempt to assert dominance
>not realising reddit is the biggest technophile hub
>calls /lit/a hub of original ideas
>doesn't think technology is God therefore must be from /pol/
>divinity is vr porn and dyson vacuums
>not realising calling someone out as a Redditor just outs himself as a Redditor
>thinks citing the etymology of a word is even remotely close to a valid argument as if saying "gay means happy so you just called me happy ha ha I win" makes him any less of a homo
This whole comment is a nightmare.

>>11496284
this but unironically. good post, anon

Why did Christians think Plato was talking about Yahweh? His ideas about God were nothing like what the Jewish scriptures say.

>>11496009
But anime is the form of potential

>>11495833
God is Logic, because the cause of all things is reason. Whether there is existence or non-existence, there is always truth, and from truth and logic flow all the possible conclusions derived from the basic elements, such as the law of non-contradiction. If you attempt to explain existence by merely positing a being that has always existed, or that exists of necessity, then you still must explain why this being exists. If there is no reason, then your belief is not justified, if there is a reason, then that reason is now more necessary than the being itself, because ultimate reason does not need a reason to be true, it just is.

I took LSD and become god once

I dunno how it works but it happened

>>11495833
God is All and ineffable and simply beyond a knowing. This is what justifies 'is'ness. Maybe try the Kybalion.
