God cannot both exist and not exist at the same time.
hmmm, maybe, but maybe not. There is an Eastern dialetic
1. Assert {exists}
2. Negate {does not exist}
3. Assert assertion and negation {both exists and doesn't exist}
4. Assert the negation of assertion and the negation of negation {neither exists nor doesn't exist}
Wittgenstein did something along these lines. Language is a map of reality. Fundamentalist are not the only ones to mistake the map for the territory they just go over the top taking the map as everything and almost entirely ignoring that to which it refers.
God is a three letter word, a concept. To what do we refer to when we utter the word?
