This was originally supposed to be a blog dedicated to libertarianism only, but I’ve wanted to get some thoughts down on atheism (which has nothing to do with libertarianism, some of us are believers and some aren’t), so I’m doing it here.

I mentioned before that God isn’t subject to the rules he created for mankind. If we’re talking about the Omnigod (omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent), the creator of reality itself, then he will exist outside of the reality he created for man. I’ve heard honest, respectable atheists argue that God can’t exist because if he’s omniscient he knows everything that will ever happen, but if he knows what will happen, he won’t be able to change it (or that would mean he didn’t know) which means he’s not omnipotent (since he lacks the power to change what will happen). That makes sense based on man’s reality. But the Omnigod doesn’t have to make sense to us. If he exists, he made us and everything else, including the rules of reality. We are completely bound by these rules because we can never know anything else. God, however, existed before these rules and these rules were created by him, for us, not for himself.

Even though the argument that the rules of reality make God’s existence impossible is clever and I like it, it isn’t a strong argument. It may have a place somewhere to illustrate certain points, but it is, by no means, a homerun in the existence debate.
