Is God an atheist?

First of all I would like to say that I'm not claiming to be sure on the

arguments I here presents. Like I said I find it very difficult to discuss

Krishna's acintya-shakti.

Well, because all contradictions exist in God - including both His existence

and His non-existence.

 

>But >for the atheist He doesn´t exist.

 

Here's how I think: God includes all possible contradictions, but when they

are in Him they are in harmony, which means that in Him they are not

contradictions at all. If this is true then it follows that the

contradiction of Gods existence and His non-existence also exist in God, but

in perfect harmony. So when the atheist says that God doesn't exist it's

both true and false at the same time. However, the atheist can't give any

good argument as to why God should not exist, because the atheist can't

refer to Gods acintya-shakti without also recognizing the existence of God

at the same time.

 

Or?

As I see it almightyness is a logically contradictory term. It leads to

contradictions like "Can God create a stone so heavy He can't lift it?" On

the other hand a person who's almighty also have the power to make

almightyness non-contradictory, which is exactly what happens, as I see it,

when He uses His virodha-bhanjiki-shakti (or acintya-shakti.) So in this

material world they're contradictions, but in Krishna internal energy

they're not.

 

As I see it, the only way to argue againt atheistic arguments that point out

logical contradictions in the concept "God" (that is contradictory from a

material point of view) is to say that since God is beyond the laws of

logic, then these arguments themselves are contradictory, because they state

that an entity who is beyond logic can't exist because it's logically

contradictory.
