It works both ways, and like I said, I'm baffled. It seems to me you want the One to be reduced to an idea you can wrap your head around, but that has never been the case except for immature religions. Mind can only wrap it's mind around a god that is "out there," but God is the circle of infinity whose center is everywhere and circumference nowhere. Think for yourself on what that means.
So, as promised, I have continued to read this thread and your posts, and will your sources. I hope you continue to post here. I am confused at some of your responses. That some find logical problems in your reasoning is not suggestive of their ignorance nor willful blindness. Rather, people will challenge your, or your quoted reasoning. If they are in error, point out how so. That some find a simple entity is not indicative that they must be some moron putzing about the dark.
Would you agree that a concept of a simple god requires a framework wherein properties are not abstract concepts to which objects belong but instead as constituents and are more akin to tropes which inhere objects?
This is not intuitive to people who have been socialized to think of properties as abstract principles separate from the entity. I.e. if power is a property and powerful things have this property in some degree, they are not likely to just dismiss the cognitive dissonance that comes from trying to assimilate the perspective into an existing framework which it cannot fit. The idea that god does not have properties but is those properties and that all of those properties are equal is a very complex theory that, given our current socialization, requires, if nothing else, massive shifting of many accepted notions. That some are not like hey, this makes perfect sense, should not be surprising.
Asserting divine simplicity will require a person to address much. I imagine why you enjoy the topic so much is because of the cognitive stimulation it entails. If, however, you think the concept is intuitive or easily grasped in this age, you do not understand much of what the concept entails.
