First Post. Hello.
I’ll get straight into it.
I’m not saying that I do or don’t believe in God, but I thought of this argument the other day and was wondering what others thought of it and what flaws they could see in it?
- People are individuals and have different perspectives on issues.
- God is perfect.
- God can do all things which are not a contradiction in terms.
- Therefore, a perfect God would be different according to people’s different perspectives. (1,2)
- Therefore, God cannot fulfill all people’s requirements of perfect as this would inevitably lead to contradictions. (3,4)
- Therefore God does not exist. (2,5)
The key issue which this argument examines is Gods perfection. Perfect for who?
For example: Some Christian fundamentalists would define a perfect God as one who punishes Homosexuals for eternity in hell. Others would define a perfect God as one who gives mercy to all. God cannot logically do both as this is a contradiction.
Also is God perfectly forgiving? If so he must first have had to have felt to be wronged.
