  "content": "Logos, Comprehension, Morality, and Forgiveness of Evil by Maclain Hunter:\n\nPremises:\n\nP: You cannot have error (illogic - sin) without Logic (Logos - the Standard of Logic, Reality, and Morality). Assume you had sin without the Moral Standard (Logos), that would be a logical contradiction. \n\nQ: The perfect understanding (universal comprehension) of Logic (God) amounts to total forgiveness of error (because the God that is Logic knows why all is all and expects all to be all, including all evil being all evil).\n\nR: If God/Logic deemed something morally acceptable that humans find evil, then as the Metric that defines goodness that “something” would be good. Goodness and God being incoherent with each other, Logic, and Reality would lead to logical contradiction. \n\nS: Along with “total forgiveness” coming from and being synonymous with the perfect comprehension of Logic (God), as the “Root of All Evil” (along with all Good) the Logos can’t truly be less guilty of a given charge than a finite being (underling), even if the underling did the “dirty work”, directly perpetrating the crime/evil (sin). \n\nT: People and finite things may do the evil, but Logos enabled it, so the only way Logos can avoid hypocrisy and NOT meeting its own Standard is to have that Standard be one of total forgiveness for those who are responsible for evil. \n\nU: Assume the negation of premises {P, Q, R, S, T, U} then logical contradiction arises including the contradictions that would arise from Logos punishing evil with an eternal hell when and while Logos itself is the Root of Light and darkness, of Good and of evil. Therefore {P, Q, R, S, T, U} must be true and valid leading to the validity and truth of the proof when combined with valid logical form.\n\nFormal Argument (Proof): \n\n{P, P -> Q, Q -> R, R -> S, S -> T, T -> U} |= ((P & Q) & (R & S) & T) & U\n\nConclusion (Output): ((P & Q) & (R & S) & T) & U: \n\nThe Logos as the Moral Standard must forgive all transgressions to avoid logical inconsistency and collapsing into internal contradiction since Logic (God) is the Root of not only all Good but also all evil, even if evil is not directly done by the Essence of Reason (Logos) itself, but by its manifestation(s). There cannot logically be an eternal hell or condemnation by the Logos for the Logos or any of its manifestations. \n",
