Re: Logically refuting atheism in favor of agnosticism
[ QUOTE ]
I think the standard or (pun-intended) canonical definition of God is: omniscient, omnipotent, benevolent. Mix those together, look at the world, and I think the contradiction case is fairly strong.

Really, is that the standard definition of God as applied by the majority of people?
I thought that most people who used the words omniscient and omnipotent did not understand what they meant, and were thinking something different when they used these two contradictory words. Further an even greater number do not have omniscient and omnipotent in their working vocabulary.
Although I sometime I find it difficult to emphasise with people with a religious belief so perhaps I don’t understand.
