But what if we took that claim seriously? In this video, I explore a strange philosophical question: what actually qualifies something as a god? Drawing from Pokémon lore, classical theology, metaphysics, and philosophy of religion, we'll examine whether the line between "fictional deity" and "real deity" is as obvious as it first appears. This is not a defense of any particular religion, nor is it an attack on one. Instead, it's a thought experiment about divinity, existence, and the assumptions hidden inside our concept of God.

Time Stamps : 00:00 - Teaser 00:46 - Intro 03:16 - Goals & Caveats 04:42 - Explaining the Argument 13:42 - “Ontological Collapse” 22:07 - Outro
DISCLAIMER!! In 11:27 I said that the argument is valid. I made a mistake. There is actually paradox within the argument. in Axiom 3 where it states that 5 star itself is positive property and then in Definition 1 where it says a hotel is 5 star if and only if it has all the positive property….. put together, these two arguments created a paradox, specifically Russell’s Paradox which states that “the set of all sets that do not contain themselves as members leads to a contradiction, regardless of whether the set itself is a member of that set.” Basically, in definition 1, the argument states that 5 star is the result of a hotel having all positive property. So, if a hotel lack even 1 positive property, then the hotel cannot be 5 star. But, in Axiom 3, the argument states that 5 star hotel is positive property… this leads to a paradox : how can a hotel be a 5 star hotel, if the requirement of a 5 star hotel, is to be a “5 star hotel” ?? With this, I want to modify my statement in that minute from "the argument is valid" to, the argument is 80% valid. Thanks xoxo
