What is a god (and problems with the concept of one) [View all]
God, especially in modern religion, is usually defined as being all good, all knowing, and all powerful (PKG). However, if God created humanity, and God is PKG, then why would humanity also not be PKG?
This is explained away in Christianity by the Adam and Eve story - however, Adam and Eve were already imperfect. The Adam and Eve story is a giant logical black hole because it claims imperfection came from imperfection - that makes no sense.
"God gave humanity free will" - wouldn't the ability to do evil things count as an imperfection in humanity? Surely a PKG being would not mess this up.
"God is imperfect" - Then wouldn't God cease to be a God if Gods are PKG?
"Satan exists and causes evil" - if God is PKG, why wouldn't it have just instantly killed Satan the moment Satan came into being, restoring good and perfection to the world? The inability to deal with Satan is an imperfection, meaning that God cannot be PKG.
Thoughts?
