Defining what is God.

the conception of infinity and eternity are quite similar in that they innvolve elements that do not end - which seems to be the issue you are struggling with

So be it. I accept your definition of god and the qualities what you give them/him.

They are quite different, why do you find it so difficult to answer questions about your faith?

Because he knows that he would be ridiculed and proved wrong on the tenets,"facts" of his religion. That's why he is trying to argue on the larger, philosophical ground, instead of the nitty-gritty specifics...

 

So, if we were playing a game of "Chicken" with him, we would have to look in the ditch already?

 

Actually I am curious what your take on infinity is - since that is as inconceivable as something eternal (an eternal article has been in existence for an infinite time)

 

I am asking you to explain how you conceptualise the existence of something that has no cause.
Please explain.

Merely saying "Infinity" or "Eternal" is not enough - as it does not answer the question.

 

and I am saying that I conceive of eternity much in the same way that I conceive of infinity - therefore I am asking you how do you conceive of infinity ....

 

great - then we have no contention

Tele tubbies were able to actually demonstrate their qualities, unlike your god. That is superior.

 

Sure we have. I say my Greek gods are the only true and existing gods and everything else is fake. So what is your god?

P.S.: Not that I expect an answer to my question. I am done with this thread...

 

true - a god that can demonstrate their qualities is superior to one who cannot - how the tele tubbies have the monoply on this display (and also what in fact they are actually displaying in the way of god like qualties) you are yet to elaborate upon

Now you have to give the qualities that the greek gods have that make them superior to any other form of god mentionable.

 

God is the only person who is the cause of His own existence.

 

ok - so here is a quality of god that cannot be conceived of as being possessed by anyone other sentient entity - otherwise it becomes difficult to elaborate on how a cause of all causes could be subject to illusion (illusion being the common experiece of other sentient living entities such as ourselves)

 

If you ignore the possability that the teletubbies are men in suits and that the whole thing is a set up for a tv show, watch an episode again and then your question will be answered as to why they are god-like. It also beats your square circle god which you claim to conceive of.

 

So, before causing his/her own existence did he/she exist or not?

 

Since a single god is yet to demonstrate anything, elaboration is unnecessary.

 

I wanted to mention YOUR gods specificly, but you don't dare to state them...
