Do you know the paradox of Epicurus
God’s omi attributes when dealing with us
Humans, and our suffering, it’s curious

Inept, cruel, malicious, or non existent
Yet the believer is always persistent
That he loves us and watches over us

Benevolent? Omniscient? Omnipotent ?
Logic to me is always important
And this being as it follows is inconsistent

When they speak of parameters that are set
“All” means no limits, infinite in power
In these fallacies they shower

It cannot be from the onset, consistent
I.G. it bothers me when they say
“God cannot lie”, this negates the “all”

In omnipotent, it blows up the quotient
This can’t be efficient as a logical argument
“If God cannot lie, this argument has died

If God can lie, how would you know the truth
I can tell you it it is convenient to you
And how convenient this God agrees with you

Nice try, but what if God could die?
If God, cant die, then he isn’t omnipotent
If God can die, no need to call him God

I find this character odd, it cannot stand scrutiny
I’m sure you’ll accuse me of mutiny, blasphemy
That I find this character your mind alchemy

God cannot die if he never existed at all
The king’s men couldn’t raise the cannon
Back on Colchester’s wall

Eggshells, eggshells, the ego does fall
(end)

There are many manifestations of the nursery rhyme “Humpty-Dumpty”
One of the stories has the origins of boiled brandy and ale. Another has it attached to a nickname of a cannon protecting portion of Colchester in a battle in 1648 in England. In more modern interpretations is refers to a clumsy person and or fragile things when broken.

I find the God concept fallible in logic. Once you attach “all powerful” to it, it has no limits, no restrictions. But every time I debate a theist, they always run into inconsistencies explaining this away. Or they cop out to “poof”, “God can do what he wants”, or “he doesn’t have to explain himself to you”, or “mysterious ways”, which are dodges, not explanations to me.

If God cannot die, you have set a parameter, a limit on it. If he can die there is no need to call him God. I have a much easier explanation in that humans make up gods as a false sense of comfort out of fear of being finite.

It isn’t hate for me to say that, it is simply my blunt honesty about the flawed logic I see when people argue for this claimed character.
