Does God exist: A hopefully civil and fruitful debate

that was fun

Are you implying that a flawed argument is somehow succeeding?

What is "good"? Why would an omnipotent and/or omniscient entity be constrained by a completely human concept that's in many ways severely subjective?

If you want to argue over whether or not god(s) exists, you should resolve that question before you try to argue God's sense of morality rather than assuming the morality is somehow directly related to the existence.

I'm aware of as much. I'm not too familiar with morality, so I don't expect to be able to defend it once people get into that realm. I haven't read much about people entertaining the omni-benevolence bit and there doesn't seem to be a lot of refutation in that area either. Do help me if you know of a better definition. Personally, if I were talking about God's kind of goodness, I would have to buy into the universal stance of objective moral values. What we perceive to be good may or may not be actually good. It could be begging the question to claim that God himself created those values of good, but I don't think it is, as him acting in such a way that he already does is a tautology and not a contradiction.
