You need to get the simple things correct before you can add more complexities without problems.


Expectation does not disqualify something beyond expectations, right?
I wasn't expecting anyone to contribute,
But I didn't rule it out either.
This thread was created some time ago, btw.

I did say: "One must learn to walk before once can run". :wink:

If you think I consider myself an expert here,
Your belief is incorrect.
If you think I am trying to educate the ignorant masses.
Erm. 8O

As I have said,
It is a learning tool for me. 8)

If people wish to contribute,
Well, that is why I posted it publically. :wink:

I do see something wrong with relying on them in making major decisions.

I didn't mean to ruin your fun (I mean that).


How on earth could you ruin my fun?
Are you a walrus by any other name? 8O

This thread is not dedicated to "proper" syllogism.
It is a concept crystallization tool.

I am a rule breaker." :wink:

1. “For since the creation of the world his [God’s] invisible attributes, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.” (Romans 1:20)

2. God made mosquitoes, leeches, viruses, and smelly intestinal functions.

Ergo,

C. God’s attributes include parasitic infestations and a penchant for bad smells which are “without excuse.”

I reject your attempt to mandate templates for coherent thought with revulsion.

"God" made me, ultimately.
You really do have to question his judgement about that, right? :mrgreen:

P1: God is perfect,
P2: I am one of god's creatures,
Ergo,
C: I am perfection.

Now, hang on,
We all know that that is bulldust.
Not the part about me being perfect, just the concept he/she/they doesn't/don't make mistakes.
Just look at Fnord. <shrug>

P1: The world is a stuff up,
P2: God made the world,
Ergo
C: God is imperfect.

P1: All things on Earth exist in a perfect, ideal form in heaven as an embodiment and expression of one of God’s heavenly attributes.

P2: The Earth has no shortage of foul stenches.

Ergo,

C: Any noxious smell we’ve experienced is nothing compared to the smelliness of God which is divinely and perfectly manifested in heaven.

(Proof of God’s Smelliness)

On the other hand, there are good smells, so maybe they neutralize the bad, sort of like air freshener or potpourri.
