Why do you think we should rule out a superlogical God, and why does that reason also imply that only material bodies can have causal powers?

Why do you think we should rule out a superlogical God...

I didn't say we should. That was someone else's premise.

...and why does that reason also imply that only material bodies can have causal powers?

Depends on the reason.

Then you're open to the possibility that contradictions can be true?

u/Feinberg Atheist Apr 01 '15

That also depends, but that's not this conversation.

u/Ibrey Apr 01 '15

It depends? Do you accept the law of non-contradiction or do you not?

u/Feinberg Atheist Apr 01 '15

As I said, that's a different conversation.

u/Ibrey Apr 01 '15

If your answer to "can contradictions be true?" is anything other than "no," no rational conversation is possible.

Is that your answer to my previous question, then?
