That's the thing; I disagree but not entirely. I'm not sure, but I intuitively sense a disparity on it. This why I came here in the first place; to help clear up what it is I am sensing wrong about this.

Suffering exists, so if God is defined as a being that is both infinitely powerful and totally good, he does not exist.
Thank you. So far, I am working on an essay on William Rowe and his problems of evil vis-a-vis God.

Stop getting hung up on silly semantics and wordddddding.

Words words words...

"God"-this and "Dog"-that.

Who cares if "____" exists or doesn't exist?

It's only a word... a thought... an idea...

No thought or word can capture and contain all the thoughts and experiences ever had by all perceptions since the beginning of time without becoming this ever-unfolding epiphenomenon of this eternal moment.

Yet you still semantically struggle to define and capture this ever-changing thought of this moment with your ever-silly limited definitions of the term "God".

All ideas exist in so much as you can think them.

This eternal moment contains all thoughts and ideas ever had.

Imagine that...

This eternal moment is "God" in the sense it contains and houses all ideas.

Including all these silly limited thoughts you have of it.

There it lies...

Ever-changing.

Ever-containing.

Know that no thought you will ever have can ever pay it justice...

Seek solace in that idea.

The idea of all ideas.

There you will stop defining and start experiencing what you seek to define.

Remember: What you are looking for is what is looking.

You are actually all caught up in subjectivity and semantics that you are giving no credit to objective reason.

That's fine if it works for you - but objective reason is what I am looking for here as it is not for personal venture - I'm working on an article in light of this topic. In that sense, arguing the idea of arguing it all together doesn't really help at all.

I may agree with you.. but it's also part of my duty to argue it. I think you'll understand that, sometimes, it is also a necessity to argue something anyway.
