I have been wrong all these years.

ARGUMENT FROM GUITAR MASTERY
(1) Eric Clapton is God.
(2) Therefore, God exists.
God exists. Who'd'a thunk it? That's the really convincing one.

This one:
Quote:
# ARGUMENT FROM BLINDNESS (II)
(1) God is love.
(2) Love is blind.
(3) Ray Charles is blind.
(4) Therefore, Ray Charles is God.
(5) Therefore, God exists.
Should be ARGUMENT BY FALSE SYLLOGISM. I use a similar thing to prove all republicans are whatever I need them to be at any given time.

Actually, God is such a nebulous and personal concept that whether or not God exists depends wholly on your definition of God. I like to define God as the set of all sets including itself. That's a mathematical concept with no objective reality, but, on some level, it certainly exists.

I don't know if they got to the Rumsfeld definition: God is what you don't know you don't know. Since there will always be things you are entirely ignorant of, God exists.

LD, That was fun! Thanks.
