"why can't god create a boulder so heavy that even the can't carry it?" even as a child trying to trick god with basic paradoxes sounded funny to me.

[-] Mrs_deWinter@feddit.org 6 points 3 months ago

The existence of those paradoxes could also mean that omnipotence in itself is simply impossible.

[-] Contravariant@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Or logic is a blasphemy against god.

[-] Mrs_deWinter@feddit.org 1 points 3 months ago

Then why would god create our minds and logic in the first place? Seems like he'd be setting us up for failure if he gives us tools to determine the truth which in turn seem to disprove his existence. Also not something you'd expect from an all-loving deity.

[-] Contravariant@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

If the story of the garden of Eden is anything to go by I'd say that the creator definitely both made those things and very clearly instructed us not to use them. Either way if logic itself is evil then any logical argument cannot possibly apply to a purely good being.

Of course I'm in camp snake, I'm just playing divinity's advocate.

I think it's a fair assumption, it just would made god a psychopath.

[-] Manmoth@lemmy.ml -1 points 3 months ago

Logic presupposes God. If God operates outside of time he can certainly operate outside of other frameworks we use to perceive the world. The human brain can fit in a bucket. Naturally understanding God is an impossibility.

The epicurian paradox presupposes false premises.
