God transforms himself into science and reason through Anselm of Canterbury's ontological argument though. My boy. It is defeat for which all theists must prepare for. God is self-negating.

Like yes, the existence of God can be proved logically. But that will get you nowhere. Anything else will just be external skin graft.

you either have God as an abstraction, in which case science and reason, or you have God as an anthropmorphised deity. It's why the philosophical traditions in both East and West have cautioned the rabble from getting involved.

hence Nietzsche declaring xtianity to be neo-platonism for the masses. the abstraction of all resolution to the high principle of 'the one' being resolved in a personalised God.

Well if you're going to question for the sake of questioning then you've already rendered your own enquiry null and void.

polytheism is a load of nonsense. This is the real content of the abrahamic tradition. All polytheism eventually resolves to monotheism, even if it means a supreme godhead through which all lesser Gods are subordinate.

Cool. I like it, like the way it's expressed. I take it to mean that God is anything that can inspire awe ie not science and reason. Which i agree with.

This is the problem with literature in this country. cherry picked.

And I will repeat: God resolves to science and reason. God is (hyper)rational.
