God is not a "thing" which exists because of some other "thing" happening or having happened. God has no dependency on any "thing" for God's own existence. God is neither "a being" or a "non being" Now, try and answer this very simple question: What has no opposite value? Quote from killthesunshine: how does it bring itself into being from non-existence?
i still don't understand how the answer could possibly be relevant let alone significant to the question of the existence of a thingless timelesss nonentity
Yes, you don't understand. That is because you don't really want to understand. Now, what has no opposite value?
ok, i want to understand your POV. "opposite" is subjective and vague. it's a word. give me a term and i will try to give its "opposite"
contrary or radically different in some respect common to both, as in nature, qualities, direction, result, or significance; For example, what is the opposite of black? Most people say white.
