> what does it mean anon something that can be proven as truth without additional evidence, ie something which can be proven with mere logical observation. > how is your favorite flavor of god "self-evident"? i never said the specifics of god were self-evident, in fact i directly mocked the idea of intuiting details. only the existence of god is self-evident. who he is, is a matter of faith. you may (and should) attempt to deduce entirely with reason who he is, but ultimately it is outside your ability to do so perfectly, and so you must eventually find either faith or despair.   then you're not thinking especially hard or with a very open mind. you have more information at your fingertips than most men have ever dreamed of, and you haven't even bothered to look into the most fundamental question literally every culture's philosopher's have been taking a whack at for millennia. it's fucking embarrassing mate.
