The Trilemma Hurdle Of Theism, With A Different Starting Point

The Trilemma Hurdle Of Theism, With A Different Starting Point

Let’s assume a different starting point for the trilemma hurdle.

See, skeptics sometimes pose a theist trilemma.

And I have referenced 5 common objections.

But even if you take a different starting point, is it all still so axiomatic?

I mean, one does not exactly follow from the other.

Again, assuming the first two are true, I am not sure where that leaves us but in a muddle of megalomania.

And if the second is true, how is the third even defined?

What if I were to present the trilemma to J. L. Mackie this way, assuming his starting point:
No God exists.
Man is the source of all definitions of love.
Good exists.

-Ravi Zacharias and Vince Vitale, Why Suffering?
