A Logical Proof for God's Existence

Hey, here is a cool Logic Proof for God's Actual Existence that I have developed:
1. Assume that by definition that God is Good, if God Exists.
2. Assume that by definition that Existence is an Important aspect of The Good.
3. Assume that by definition that by definition that The Good is Positive.
4. Assume that by definition the adjective Good is contained within the Noun The Good.
5. Now, since God is Good, and since by definition an Important aspect of The Good is Existence,
God Exists.

An Actual Proof for God's Existence

This is an airtight, actual, proof for God's Existence:

1. By Definition God is Good.
2. An important aspect of the Good is Existence.
3. Since God is Good, God Exists.
4. By Definition, evil is a lessening of the Good or the opposite of the Good.
5. Since God is Good, it is impossible for God to be evil.

Alternate Proof for God's Existence:

1. By Definition God is Being.
2. By Definition Being is Actual.
3. By Definition the Actual is relatively real and or probably real.
4. By Definition Being is Good.
5. By Definition an important aspect of The Good is Existence.
6. By Definition the Good is Good and Good is the Good.
7. Since God is Being and since Being is Good, God is Good.
8. Since God is Good and since an important aspect of the Good is Existence, God Exists.
9. Therefore, God Exists.

The Real Ockham's Razor

The definition of Ockham's Razor that is typically used is logically incoherent. Instead, Ockham's Razor is really a guideline which suggests, as a general rule, when dealing with academia or politics or law, you should not attribute secondary causes to God. Generally speaking, God is seen as been the First Cause, Uncaused Cause and the Unmoved Mover. However, it is also generally understood that God works primarily through secondary causes which involve Angels, Archangels, gods and goddesses, metaphysics, natural laws, Natural Law, etc. It is perfectly appropriate to discuss and write about God in areas such as philosophy, theology, cosmology, quantum physics, ethics, morality, metaphysics, and cosmology. On the other hand, as a general rule, when you do not attribute ordinary causes to God, but rather, only Miracles. So, if I am trying to determine why it is that my car does not start, ordinarily I look to physical causes such as those inovolving the Battery, the Starter, or the Alternator, and not God. Once the Universe is set up, which it is, God only Acts Personally, and directly, through Miracles. The everyday reality which we face is ordinarily structured through the use of natural laws and Natural Law, not through any Direct Acts of God. Thus, it is a violation of Ockham's Razor to speak or write about God causing ordinary, everyday events. Ordinarily, when a person Prays, those prayers are anwered by an Angel, and Archangel, a Saint, or a god, not directly by God Himself. Additionally, when ordinary problems arise, such as unemployment, a power outage, a death of a person, car trouble, the theft of a bicycle, etc., such events are not attributed to God, at all, but rather the other causes, which are typically ordinary causes. Of course, it is perfectly appropriate to refer to God in poetry, music, literature, etc.

God is not All Powerful and Neither is the Pope

Some religous fundamentalists, have asserted, wrongly, that God is All Powerful. In fact, they even say that "there is nothing impossible for God." As Tom Shaffer, noted Notre Dame Law and Theology expert might tell us, God is bound by reason and logic. Thus, God cannot do that which is logically impossible. For example, God cannot have a grapefruit exist, and not exist, at the same time in the same place. Thus, we can confirm with Pope Innocent III and Grotius that God is bound by Reason, by His very Nature, and therefore cannot do that which is unreasonable and or illogical. Of course, the only authority that any Church Authority has is by, holding of God Himself, and therefore, every Pope and every Church Official is bound by the Rule of Reason, and anything that such a person might to which is unreasoable is a violation of Canon Law, and is invalid. This is especially true of Relgious Superiors in Catholic religious comunities, such as the Jesuits.

God, Natural Law, and the Declaration of Independence

The American Declaration of Independence states that God has endowed us with certain inalienable natural rights, enforced by natural law, which are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Additonally, Grotius states that natural law, based upon reason, gives each one of us the natural rights of Liberty and Property, which, cannot be abrogated, even by God himself. Liberty is the freedom or freewill that each of us has to follow the Good, in our own way. Thus, any attempt to limit or cancel our Natual Law and Constitutional Natural Rights to Life, Liberty, Property, and the Pursuit of Happiness involves a serious violation of Natural Law which is punishable in this life by prison, and in the afterlife by being sentenced to Purgatory Prison, which, is like Azkhaban. Of course, they say that being sentenced to Hell in the afterlife is even worse. And, in response to the theologians who say that a Good God would not allow any person to spend all of Eternity in Hell, the duration of an existant's or person's stay in Hell is now a finite number, which, of course, could be a period of time such as, One hundred thousand Trillion years.

A Logical Proof which proves that the All Powerful, Authoritarian, God, does not exist.

Some protestant Calvinists think, wrongly, that God is All Powerful, All Knowing, Authoritarian, and Arbitrary and Capricious. In fact, they say that with respect to this "God", "there is nothing that is impossible for God." Rather, it is apparent, using the following Logical Proof, that the foregoing God cannot exist on his own term, and, put another way, it is impossible for such a God to exist. Consider the following:
1. Assume for the sake of argument that the All Powerful God, for whom nothing is
impossible, exists.
2. Derive, the God for whom nothing is impossible, exists.
3. Given, the foregoing, it should not be impossible for the foregoing God to
take himself out of existence.
4. It is logically apparent, that the foregoing God does not exist because he has taken
himself out of existence, or in the alternative, it is not possible for the foregoing God to
take himself out of existence, and therefore, there is at least one thing that is impossible
for such a God, and thus, in either event, the All Powerful God, for whom nothing is
impossible does not exist.

Now, it should be noted that, first of all, the foregoing logical proof does not apply to the Catholic model of God, where God is Reason and is Reasonable. Obviously, since it is not Reasonable for God to take himself out of existence, he will not even attempt such a feat, and yet, still remains the God of Reason, or the Reasonable God. This is of course consistent with the Prologue to the Catholic Gospel of Johh, where John the Apostle and Evangelist tell us, "In the Beginning was the Logos (Reason) Jesus Christ, and the Logos (Reason) Jesus Christ was with God, and the Logos (Reason) Jesus Christ was God, and without the Logos (Reason) Jesus Christ, nothing came into being.
Additionally, since God is bound by Reason, any religous authority such as a Pope, is also required to be reasonable. Thus, to be valid, all Papal pronouncemets and church teachings must be in accordance with reason. This follows the Philospher and Theologian, Grotius, who wrote the the natural law of reason, which includes natural right of Liberty and Property, cannot be divested by anyone, not even God himself. Grotius writing was affirmed by the Pope, the Catholic King Louis of France, and the Lutheran King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden.
