What is the truth value of this statement?

[dms1972]

"God" is a taboo term, like "master mason".

Im neither. not because they are taboo terms, but because simply I don't think I should regard myself in terms of deity.

Thats cool. Theres a social and cognitive function in that. You wouldnt want to land in a bush.

The social construction of relaity. Religions can get away with it, scientists cant.

What is the truth value of this statement?

'I am not a god.'

Truth value of statement = 1.

As opposed to: 0.

If you were a god, then you would have to admit to a belief in polytheism.

How so? Maybe I am the one and only God. A Humean type though, one who makes mistakes.

No David Hume the philosopher, IIRC he said that diue to the flaws in the creation, like for like we have a flawed cause. "Embedded Age" for instance. No ones fooled by that, hence we need garnier.

Did you type this running down the street?

Because I have no idea what you just said.

And does that girl in that video think she's pretty or something?

OK thanks. And Apologies.

Hume, I mean the Scots Philosopher.

There was the medieval idea that the beauty of the creation reflected the beauty of the creator. Hume just added there were flaws too. So we can also infer the creator is flawed (like for like) by the same reasoning process. If the beauty reflects him, so do the flaws.

So I mention embedded age, a "flaw" in creation depending oun your outlook. As for make up, that just crossed my mind. The ad says something like be beautiful from the inside, your true nature and the likes. I say that about the world, theres no need for theological cosmetic treatment, love it as it is.

If someone asks you if you're a god, you say yes!

Bravo for the Ghostbusters quote!

Ir God is fallible, what is He fallible about. Thats the question. If God is not fallible, then I cant be God if I am myself fallible.

This may sound like distant-from-reality philosophising, but I am convinced this type of question has played a role in the development of modal logic, epistemology etc.

What about Psalm 82?

 

[SkyWriting]

We are gods. We play god everyday to a world below us; the insects. We literally do everything in those mythological tales to them. And yet they still don't worship us. Poor ignorant fools.

While we were still fools, God sent His Son to die for
our foolishness, so we wouldn't not have to.
