   Things wrong with it? It’s too amusing to be Proper Philosophy!

      Wittgenstein once said that a serious philosophical work could be made entirely out of jokes.

      Since everything he himself wrote was quite austere, one can probably doubt the sincerity of his adherence to this idea.

   It predicates existence?

      That’s certainly one thing that’s awry yeah. Not sure if it may be reformulated without it.
      (~Exists(x) (God(x))->Exists(x)(God(x)) may be possible to deduce. Herein lies an even larger problem.)

   Its just a very weak argument that takes advantage of the unknown. It really fails to explain anything without going into circular logic.
   Not only that, this theory has no future.

   So its pretty much a failing theory imo.

   ie.
   Q: In what format is God defying logic?
   A: There is no “certain format” god utilizes to defy logic, b/c he can manipulate logic Therefore, “a format” does not exist

   Q: No format is also a format.
   A: He is beyond logic, so it is format and not format.

   Q: That too is a format.
   A: It is beyond what human minds can comprehend.

   Q: How do you know this aspect is incomprehensible? b/c God never explicitly said all his workings are beyond human comprehension.
   A: ??

   etc etc.

      Well, since I am an atheist, it is obvious I don’t think it is a strong enough argument, it’s just one I for some bizarre reason never see.

      …What do you mean by ‘format’, by the way?
