The Great Debate

Still Not So Great

"Clarity is the enemy of confusion."
                                            -- the definition coherent

*

"Blirky exists."
"Can you define Blirky?"
"Blirky is not physical."
"Neither is nonexistence."
"Blirky is not visible."
"Neither is nonexistence."
"Blirky is not mortal."
"Neither is nonexistence."
"Blirky is not finite."
"Neither is nonexistence."
"Blirky is not measurable."
"Neither is nonexistence."
"Blirky is not subject to time."
"Neither is nonexistence."
"Blirky does not change."
"Neither does nonexistence."
"Blirky does not have limitations."
"Neither does nonexistence."
"Blirky is holy, just, loving, merciful, patient, perfect, provident, supreme, and true."
"This is a list of secondary characteristics.  What are they characteristics of?  
 What is the nature of Blirky possessing them?"
"The nature of Blirky cannot be described."
"Neither can the nature of nonexistence."
"The nature of Blirky cannot be comprehended."
"Despite your comprehensive list of Blirky's attributes whose function,
 presumably, is to enable one to comprehend the nature of Blirky?"
"Blirky is unknowable, Blirky's nature being 'beyond the reach of man's
 understanding.'"
"If Blirky's nature cannot be known, then how can one know Blirky exists?
 To claim Blirky by nature is unknowable, one must first have knowledge of
 Blirky's existence; and thus to that extent, one has knowledge of Blirky
 unknowable, nicely accomplishing the logically impossible."
" . . . Well, God exists."
