According to WL Craig's Argument, It's "Possible" Yahweh is a Sadistic Monster, or Moogooboogoo is God.

In his paper, "No Other Name":A Middle Knowledge Perspective on the Exclusivity of Salvation Through Christ", William Lane Craig attempts to show that the premises below are compatible with Christian salvation. Using Craig's own words, and the laws of substitution, this post will illustrate how, according to Craig, any: "proposition need not be plausible or even true; it need be only a possibly true proposition, even if it is contingently false."-- essentially means that ANY possibility can be true--even the possibility that an omniscient, omnipotent, and omnibenevolent god of an unknown tribe in the jungle exists, and that if Christians do not know him, they can still be saved. Or, we could also create a new "possibly true" proposition in which Yahweh is a sadistic monster.

Below are the premises from Craig's argument:

"1. God is omniscient, omnipotent, and omnibenevolent

is inconsistent with

2. Some persons do not receive Christ and are damned.

Since (1) is essential to theism, we must therefore deny (2).

In order to show (1) and (2) to be consistent, the orthodox defender has to come up with a proposition which is consistent with (1) and which together with (1) entails (2). This proposition need not be plausible or even true; it need be only a possibly true proposition, even if it is contingently false."

Now, let's apply WL Craig's logic and use the laws of substitution. I can also say that:

1. Moogooboogoo (a possible god of an unknown tribe in the jungle) is omniscient, omnipotent and omnibenevolent.

is inconsistent with

2. Some persons do not receive Moogooboogoo and are damned.

The above premises are "possibly true." Just because Craig does not know about the omniscient, omnipotent and omnibenevolent god Moogooboogoo, does not mean that this god does not exist. What is even worse for Christians, is that according to Craig's claim that a "proposition need not be plausible or even true; it need be only a possibly true proposition, even if it is contingently false" this means I can make substitutions in his argument which need only be possibly true, and it is also "possibly true" that his god is a malevolent, sadistic, misogynistic monster:

1. Yahweh is a sadistic, malevolent, misogynistic monster

2. Some persons do not receive Yahweh/Jesus and are damned.

As an ignostic atheist, I believe there are better explanations for phenomena than saying "goddidit" however, even if we assume his god exists, according to what is written in the bible, my premises are not only possible, they are plausible. I came up with an argument in which (1) and (2) are consistent, and a proposition which is consistent with (1) and which together with (1) entails (2)."

Using WL Craig's logic and the bible, it is just as plausible that Yahweh, if he existed, IS a sadistic, malevolent misogynistic monster, and according to the bible, those that do not receive this monster, are damned--possibly to a life of bliss.

1. Killing defenseless children, fetuses, and pregnant mothers is sadistic and malevolent.

"The people of Samaria must bear their guilt, because they have rebelled against their God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground, their pregnant women ripped open." Hosea 13:16

2. Yahweh is misogynistic, as women are represented as unclean chattel in the bible, and had been treated as property with no rights of their own for thousands of years due to passages such as those cited below, which are only two of many such passages in the bible:

"How then can a man be righteous before God? How can one born of woman be pure?" Job 25:4

"Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord." Col. 3:18


3.  Yahweh is not all good.  For if Yahweh was all good, then he would be all virtuous, but the bible tells us Yahweh is an angry, jealous god--which are vices.  Therefore, Yahweh is not all-virtuous, and not "all-good." 

Therefore, I have gone one step further and have shown that it IS possible and plausible that Yahweh is a sadistic, malevolent misogynistic monster and as such, being "saved" might entail being "saved" to be eternally tortured for the pleasure of this god; and being damned might be the ultimate joke on humanity. It is possible that since so many evil people are rewarded in life, they too might be "damned" with eternal bliss in the after life by this misogynistic, sadistic god. If this is possible, then perhaps Christians would be better off worshipping Moogooboogoo.
