Me.
If I can perceive that I exist that means I exist.
Even if my perception is an illusion there has to be some form of perception present, so no matter how I may exist I can be sure that I exist.

God has to be over and also encompassing of all things because if he is less than x then he can't be God. Keeping this in mind, then I can deduce that God exists since I exist. This we must concede for sure.

We can never be sure of God's true form or will however so it's impossible to say "X religion/belief is right about God"
My personal belief is that there is a benevolent God that does interact with us in just the right ways.

This is just the ontological argument and you definitely don't have to concede this since it lets you pull whatever you want out of thin air. Take Barney the anthropomorphic purple dinosaur that is defined to be the most ridiculous example of the ontological argument creating bullshit. The existence of Barney is more ridiculous than his non-existence therefore Barney must exist since he is defined as the most ridiculous

How else could you define God? We aren't talking about some character, the features I mentioned are mandatory to define God in a human sense.
Why are you so upset at this fact? Simply acknowledge that some sort of God exists, not like it means anything for you. I think you just don't want to accept the truth

Dictionary definition. A superhuman being or spirit worshiped as having power over nature or human fortunes; a deity. Note there is nothing there about encompassing all things. In polytheistic traditions gods definitely didn't encompass all things. If you can make your own specific definition for God I can do so for Barney

That's why I specified "human sense" Instead of seething how about you define God since you seem to be so knowledgeable on the subject

>B-b-but in X culture God is a hecking superhero!
Ok idc? Anything less than an all encompassing existence is less than the sum of everything, such a thing can neither be omnipotent nor omniscient. I'm not making up a definition of God I'm pointing out features that must be a part of "God" for it to be God in the human sense

>I'm not making up a definition of God I'm pointing out features that must be a part of "God" for it to be God in the human sense
I have no idea what you mean by in the human sense. Do you think words have objective definitions apart from people? Like there is a definition of God that no one made up? If I say God is defined as a banana what are you going to point to and say that is not the definition of God?

We can argue about the definition of God all day but there are some aspects of him we have to agree on, like him being all-encompassing because if he isn't all-encompassing he can't be omnipotent etc

God by nature must be incomprehensible by humans, that's why I specify "human sense" We can't talk about him otherwise

We don't agree on that and the fucking dictionary definition I gave doesn't agree on it. You have a definition of God specific to you and people who like the ontological argument. Fine I have a definition of Barney specific to people who like to make fun of believers in the ontological argument.

The objection to the ontological argument i gave is common to Phil 101 classes.

One of the earliest recorded objections to Anselm's argument was raised by one of Anselm's contemporaries, Gaunilo of Marmoutiers. He invited his reader to conceive an island "more excellent" than any other island. He suggested that, according to Anselm's proof, this island must necessarily exist, as an island that exists would be more excellent

A God is not the same as The God, you are desperately trying to shift what I'm talking about so you can say that I'm talking about some cartoon character. There is an all encompassing being that is conscious and benevolent, the proof of that is the existence of any will at all. That is God, nothing else can be properly defined as God as any other definition will produce a lesser being.

So you have a definition of God then? I gave my definition of Barney. The ontological argument proves the existence of both of them

>> No.20282884

>>20282833
God has proof, which is me. If you define Barney as a being based on an undeniable truth then yes we can say that Barney is real but we can't make any rational assumptions of his being

So "Barney is the aspect of God which likes to make fun of believers in the ontological argument." would be correct as God DOES have such an aspect to himself, you just put a name on it. You would have to give enough proof of Barney's existence if you define him any other way

>> No.20282900
