I agree with you whole heartedly, however it seems your contradicting yourself. First you say that there is potential, now your saying that it is logically impossible for another to exist.

Don't worry, I enjoy discussions :).

When I said God has potential, it was on logically possible things. God forgiving people doesn't contradict logic - hence I argued why it is possible for God to be infinitly merciful while not forgiving everyone - due to potential.

Now creating himself, is logically impossible - their is no potential to do such things and hence being infinitly powerful does not equate to doing illogical things.
 
Well as long as im not getting on your nerves... heehee

Well thats the thing, can we reduce god to mere logic?
 
Can God do illogical things?

This is probably a philosophical question - if humans are reaching God, through what they see as logical reasoning - is this all moot as what seems logical in this universe may be completly irrelevant in a metaphysical realm - their may well be no such thing as logic - infact logic is maybe a limiting factor itself - being the result of many laws.

I think at this point, we would be going into a world so complex and unknown, we can only guess.
 
I agree with you.

But I don't think we need to 'guess' we can use our rationale to reach us up to a certain point, and then have faith.
