The Incoherent Attribute Argument is Sound

It is a delight to be debating with you and I hope to have a fruitful discussion. It is my Burden of Proof to show that God cannot exist based upon contradictory attributes. Whatever has contradictory attributes cannot exist. Whatever has contradictory attribtues cannot exist. God has contradictory attribtues. Therefore, God does not exist. Omnipotent v. Omniscient Omnipotence is defined as the quality of having all power. However, He can do all things that do not conflict with His holy nature. God has the power to do anything He wants to. [1] Omniscience is defined as the quality of having all knowledge. [2] God is all powerful. Therefore, he can change the future. God is all knowing. Therefore, he knows the future. A being who knows the future is powerless to change it. Hence, an all-knowing, all-powerful, and freewilled God is impossible. It is impossible for God to change the future. Therefore, we cannot say that God is all-powerful. Either or that, you must admit that God is not all-knowing. Either way, there is a contradiction in his attributes. Immutable v. All-loving If God exist, then He is immutable and all-loving. An immutable being cannot change. Hence, that immutable being cannot be affected by any events. However, to be all-loving, it must be possible for a being to be affected by events. Hence it is impossible for an immutable being to be all-loving (from 3 and 4). Therefore, God does not exist. [3] To be affected is to be changed in some way; therefore premise 3 is true by definition. The concept of love is relevant in this argument and it is that of agape, which is the willingness to sacrifice oneslf for the sake of another [4]. It is thereby impossible for an all-loving God to be immutable. Just v. Mercy If God exists, then it is necessary that he is all-just and all-merciful. An all-just judge would treat every offender with exactly the severity that he/she deserves. An all-merciful judge treats every offender with less severity than he/she deserves. It is impossible to treat an offender with both exactly the severity that he/she deserves and also less severity than he/she deserves. Therefore, God cannot be all-just and all-merciful. Therefore, God cannot exist. The definition of just and merciful is important in this argument. Just is defined as the dew reward or punishment for an act (i. e. , getting what is deserved). [5] Mercy is defined as the act of not administering justice when that justice is punitive. [6] Because of those definitions, it is impossible for God to be both administrating justice and not administering judtice. Therefore, God does not exist! | CONCLUSION |I have shown that it is impossible for God to exist as his attributes are contradictory. Therefore, my opponent needs to either show: (1) The attributes are not really contradictory; or (2) That it is possible for a being with contradictory attributes to exist. References[1] Slick, Matt.
