@Simon – “They don’t share their entire beings, yet they share their God-nature.”

This is not Nicene Trinitarianism. The orthodoxy explicitly says that ‘Each person is fully God”. Not partially god, not a piece of God and certainly not overlapping subsets. When you say “The Venn diagram doesn’t fully overlap” you are asserting partial identit…[Read more]

I wonder what Arius who make of this version of Who by Fire (Leonard Cohen). I think Arius would be allergic to metaphysical inflation and ask Christians to stop smuggling mystery in where clarity will do. He would say that there is one ultimate source (God the Father). Creation runs largely on order, consequence, and necessity and there is no…[Read more]

Robert has failed to provide a counter-proof that could be attested and validated by AI, admitting the uniqueness of this proof. So I will go over to you, RTFF; If the Trinity does not exist – as you claim, rooted in Arianism and denying co-equal persons—then explain how a precise, formal model of it could be extracted from the…

If Father = fully God

And Son = fully God

And Father ≠ Son

Then “God” is both identical and non-identical.

You now have:

God = Father

God = Son

Father ≠ Son

This violates the basic identity logic: If A = C and B = C, then A = B.

You can’t escape bad logic with theological wordplay.

I’m not sure I agree that your refu…[Read more]

Coincidental synthetic patterns.  We can join the dots however we like.

Why do you reject what the Bible says about God and His son Jesus?

I consider it just a mythological motif, many predating Jesus. Egypt’s Osiris, Greece’s Dionysus, the Near Eastern Tammuz/Adonis, and Hinduism’s Ganesha were all resurrected as well.

You could have your work cut out for you by formulating a proof for Osiris, Dionysus or Ganesha, that is empirically and mathe…

@King Iyk –  I reject Trinitarianism, not because I am an atheist but because I have studied the Bible. The word “Trinity” does not appear anywhere in the Bible. The fully formed doctrine of ‘one God in three co-equal, co-eternal persons’ as described to me in Catholic school, is not explicitly stated in either the Old or New Testamen…[Read more]

Here is the magic: A + B + C + D = A, using modulus arithmetic. It’s beyond circular stupidity.

You will respond with further supposed objections. B…

@Robert – you’re assuming that the Bible is proposed as proof of God’s existence, when that may be too much burden.  Maybe the Bible is not supposed to make sense, but God does.

The thing is, it’s impossible to prove or disprove the existence of God, by logic or any other means, in this world we have. Evidence would be nice; failing that, it’s unprovable either way.

It’s not an atheists’ task to disprove a claimed god, but when contradictory claims are made about a god, that particular version of tha…[Read more]

Exactly. Here this pattern is supposed to teach us that circular logic proves itself, LOL. That’s so fucking brill…[Read more]

In the mid 2020’s we find theists doing all sorts of backflips to find evidence for their magic cults. Typically, it’s the “something had to c…[Read more]

the validity of the proof

Can you run it past a “theorem prover”?  I’m told they exist, for proving mathematical theorems.

Have you published this rehashed nonsense in a real physics journal for peer review by secular scientists? Your god(s) are not supposed to be a math model or logical construct. They are claimed to interact in physical ways. Causing plagues, killing babies, you know all the fun stuff.

Not impressed with your silly AI. You can get AI to say…[Read more]
