God is a coward

[jack]

Sorry, not really. (Well, not necessarily. Uh, I mean, I didn't have any reason to say that, other than as a humorous example of a controversial subject. Argue amongst yourselves if you so wish, but don't blame me. Just look at this bracket, it's amazing how many words saying nothing takes up :))

Where is everyone? My "inbox" has been nearly unclogged of lj updates recently -- have you all become productive or something? Have you all moved to chiark or myspace?

ETA: OK, that seemed to work :)

I think I may have misread a quantifier. If you want to say the concept *could* be meaningless, then I agree. Some interpretations of Jesus just mean it isn't automatically so.

To what extent this was true of Jesus is not a question I have a great interest in exploring in great detail :-)

LOL. Good call.

If I'd added omniscience to my definition of a god, it would have closed that loophole

OK, that could work. There are still difficulties -- eg. do I know the future? If so, do I have 'free will'? If not, am I potent at all? :) -- but there could be things to which courage doesn't really apply.
