@secondson saidOn the contrary.
Think it through. There can be only one God.
The existence of one god would imply the existence of many.
I would say regarding supernatural beings it is logically
zero or many, with the smart money being on zero.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidI always wondered where you would run off to, you will need a new hiding place since I know where to look now. 😉
When Kelly starts a sentence with 'simply put' I tend to hide under the table.

@wolfgang59 saidThe existence of one infinite being necessarily requires the existence of zero other infinite beings. Learn to think and we will welcome you into the Christian fold.

@darfius saidThe "existence" of one infinite being does not necessarily preclude the "existence" of other infinite beings. People who believe in supernatural beings and phenomena can believe whatever they want.

@fmf saidTwo infinite beings cannot coexist because the infinity of one would be a limitation of the other.

Logic dictates what we "can believe", though perhaps you'd define logic as "supernatural" and ignore it. Those of us intelligent enough to understand logic understand these things. 😉
@darfius said"Faith", if strong enough, can take any idea, any opinion, any aspiration and package it as "logic" and then that becomes what people "can believe". There is pretty much no limit on what people "can believe". It doesn't need "logic" for them to be able to to do that.

@fmf saidIncorrect. What if one wanted to do something and the other wanted him not to do it? Such logical impossibilities are why two infinites cannot coexist. You're not very bright. Is that why you aren't Christian?
No, it wouldn't. Infinity in such a case would be a complete lack of limitation on either.

@fmf saidYour idea of faith is not the faith of logical Christians or the faith recommended in the Bible, which is a trust based on reason and past loyalty.

@darfius saidIf you now want to shift away from what you said and start riffing about the "will" of an "infinite" being or the action of one "infinite" being against another, then that's your prerogative.

@darfius saidLike I said, "faith", if strong enough, can take absolutely any far-fetched notion, any figment of the imagination, any unprovable theory, or any comforting hope pinned on some magical process or other, and pass it off as "logic". The more insecure the believer is, the more they seek to rationalise their "faith" in the eyes of others.
You atheists selectively read my posts. I said reason too, did I not? Reason requires logic. Your lack of integrity is why you are not Christian.

@fmf saidThis has nothing to do with anything I've said, is dishonest and is not a claim supported with any evidence. On Judgement Day, you will no longer be able to lie without being immediately exposed and culpable. Repent.
