If God is infinite as a straight line would be, you can have many gods for there can be many infinite straight lines.
ANALYSIS:
The geometric analogy of multiple infinite lines fails when applied to God
because classical philosophy defines divine infinity as absolute perfection
rather than extension.
But imagine the perfect infinite line. Why can't
there be another one.?
A geometric line is a quantitative measure in space.
You can draw endless parallel infinite lines because space allows it.
If
something can go on without beginning or end and there can be another then so
what?
We don't need to treat the line as physical or as an object in space.
Argument works regardless.
Reply:
Divine infinity allows only
one absolute maximum. Philosophers like Anselm and Thomas Aquinas argued that
God is that than which nothing greater can be conceived.
If two infinite
beings existed, they would have to differ in some way. If they differed, one
would have a quality the other lacks. A being that lacks a quality is not
maximally great or truly infinite.
There is nothing incoherent about a
limitless force existing and having an identical twin.
The Ground of
Being: God is not just a very large thing; God is understood as existence
itself. Multiple sources of pure existence would limit each other, meaning
neither would be absolute.
This is true but it is manipulative. It
sounds like it thinks you can call God the existence of all that exists and
that makes him true. It is too abstract
