This is a simplification of what I see as a central argument around whether you’re nuts or not to believe in God. I’ve tried to take strictly logical/mathematical language and make it more readable, whilst hopefully keeping the core concepts.
Short version: If God exists, then humans must believe in him or they are lying. That is absurd so God does not exist.
Long version: Harry is any Human (could be Harold or Harriet).
- If God is infinitely great, then God is infinitely loving
- If God is infinitely loving, then for all Harry’s for all time:
- If Harry can relate to God at the time
- then Harry has the power to relate to God
- then Harry will relate to God
- Unless Harry is a liar at that time
- For all Harry’s for all time, Harry has the power to relate to God only if Harry believes in God at the time
- 1 & 2 & 3 combined says if God is infinitely great, for all Harry’s for all time, Harry believes in God at the time or Harry is lying
