Speaking of God…

…is equivalent to speaking of everything, and I do mean Everything, which is to say, totality.

Before speaking totally, to either affirm or negate God, please look to the logic of totality. That logic, I am sorry to report, has no capacity for its own affirmation or negation.

The logic is simple enough. Not one thing may be left out. Of totality, there can be no other, no outside, no without. There being no without, there can be no within.

No proposition of totality may assert within or without. The terms of assertion must be total, i.e., absolute.

Absolute terminology dictates a further twist. Given two terms, each must serve as mirror exemplar of the other. One term must reflect and function as the other. This reflexivity means that whatever is argued in totality must be self-referential; what is asserted must hold as well for how. The argument may not leave itself out.

To deny God is to pull the rug out from under the negation. To affirm totality is also silly, as is the derivative bickering in so many posts here of late.
