Oh Lord, give me understanding.
Why you cant say that God exists.
Its a rather interesting question of God, of relegions of theists and atheists, of which many a man has spent his much of his neural power. Can it be that this riddle that has perplexed humankind for centuries remain forever unsolved. That would sound quite wierd though - that indeed no satisfactory solution may be in sight.
It all started out as a benign discussion on the possibility of writing truly parallel code that it came to truly identifying God. These are thoughts of a different kind I thought I should share.
I believe it is resonable to assume that every man should be allowed to hold his opinion. That would mean that he should also be allowed to believe in his own God. The attributes, form, power, benovelence, knowledge that man may assign to God may be numerous and unrestricted.
That would mean that for every single attribute that I assign to God, there can exist a person, who can assign an opposing attribute to God. The number of God(s) may also be considered an attribute, so does existence.
We can therefore conclude that either the expression of godly attributes is always incompletely captured by human language, or that even thought is always incomplete. That we may be forever doomed to pondering this question, unable to convey any understanding that we come across in this matter to fellow humans. All we try will always describe a part that will be incoherent with others.
From all that I have said, it could also mean that whatever I say may not be truly what I fell for I am incapable of expressing it.
