We are not making a synthetic judgment that would add new information about the real existence of God to the purely conceptual definition of God."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746564418600302090.post-54149501545521398222011-02-25T19:13:39.303-08:002011-02-25T19:13:39.303-08:00Jared: That was one of the reasons I changed the s...Jared: That was one of the reasons I changed the snarkyness factor of the post toward the pizza.
