Quote from stu:
Whether conceptually , ontologically ,actually, or obviously, everything needs existence to exist.
Whether conceptually , ontologically ,actually, or obviously, God would need existence to exist.
In this context there is no logical definition for the greatest being God. Existence trumps God.
God is not a logical definition. It's simply absurd to say it is.
If God were a logical definition then it is no more absurd to say Gilbert is a logical definition.
God cannot be the greatest, for whatever you say the greatest is , there is always the prospect for one greater.
To say the greatest contains everything is a nonsensical statement. Conceptually , ontologically, actually, or obviously a container does not contain itself.
If a container can contain itself, then so can Gilbert , only He can always contain +1 greater than God.
Container Gilbert would also contain container God.
Stuck in two dimensional thinking? By the sound of things you've still to reach 1 dimensional.
However your unsolicited reference to Gilbert suggests youâre making some kind of progress.
Heâs clearly there, present in your thoughts as God+1.
Praise be!![]()

If "God was existence" the word existence wouldn't need to exist.Quote from OPTIONAL777:
God is existence, therefore God does not need an external existence to exist upon...
...and God is yours before that.Quote from OPTIONAL777:
God+1 is your absurdity.
That is your absurdity. I am not claiming Gilbert is the greatest. You are claiming God is when it is very clear, that is absurd.Quote from OPTIONAL777:
God is the greatest, so adding +1 to Gilbert (apparently Gilbert can be added to ((He---Gilbert---can always contain +1 greater than God.)) ) demonstrates Gilbert is not the greatest.
You start the daftness. You are making daft claims of God.Quote from OPTIONAL777:
When it comes to being daft, you take and eat the cake...

Gilbert is exactly the same as God only +1 more.
Except for that 1 thing, you are naming God daft yourself by calling Gilbert such.
Any claim you make for God there is always +1 claim more. God cannot be the greatest as Gilbert is greater.
You can of course dance around chasing your own tail all you like but God does not spell nor mean Existence.Quote from OPTIONAL777:

Is there really any need to explain the logical flaws in the statement above?
Let's say God actually is existence, a logical possibility.
Let's say that an atheist doesn't think God is existence, another logical possibility.
So why would that negate the need for the word existence, to exist?
Too funny...
So why the word and meaning for God then, when the word and meaning of Existence exists and is separately defined ?Quote from OPTIONAL777:
