Analysis of Christopher Hitchen's argument against God

[OPTIONAL777]

Look you can use a poison the well fallacy all you want...but that doesn't have anything to do with my position on stu's comments. If stu had made the exact same comments to another poster, I would be demonstrating the absurdity of them.

It has nothing to do with any other poster.

It has to do with stu's comments.

Please direct your ad hominem attacks where they have a chance of being effective.

Quote from Gabfly1:

Uh-huh, sure. However, his arguments for religion and god are about as compelling as his political diatribes. Not to mention the "depth." A 5-watt bulb remains a 5-watt bulb, regardless of which room it may be in. Of course, you would admit this if you did not have an axe to grind. The guy is a moron. It is not merely a matter of disagreeing with someone. The man is stupid and he proves it daily. And here you are defending him because he shares your beliefs. No doubt, it must make you feel warm all over having someone of his wattage in your court, lending all manner of credence to your position.

As for me, should I ever find myself on the same side of an argument as a Clown College dropout, it will likely give me a moment or two of pause.

How unfortunate that you're not smarter than you are. If you were, then maybe you would at least be able to recognize just how much you were embarrassing yourself. But don't despair, we're here to bear witness.

He is smart for a leprechaun though.

Quote from OPTIONAL777:

I have defined God as the Totality.

Totality exists.

Therefore, God exists.

Everything begins with a definition, and I've defined God, and shown that God exists.

Is my definition of God correct?

I've not claimed that the definition is correct or incorrect. I have not said I have knowledge, or used any phrase like "my knowledge."

I believe God exists, I have no problem with saying that. You have my definition.

You have your beliefs in response to what I have said.

So you are not without beliefs.

ok, define "Totality"? if you dare, which you won't because you know your FOS afloat w/o a life raft..and sinking fast

 

[OPTIONAL777]

You don't know what Totality is?

Really?

Totality is the sum of all totalities.

The universe is a totality. Is the universe the Totality? Opinions vary on that one. Most people think the universe had a beginning, so prior to the universe beginning what was there?

Some say "nothing" but I say, the potential was there for the universe to exist. And potential is something, not nothing.

Totality includes everything...it includes the universe, it includes what if anything preceded the universe, it will contain what happens if the universe ends, it would contain all other universes if they exist.

That Totality=God.

You might study Universal set theory, that might help you with the general concept of totalities, and The Totality.

If not, that's fine too.
