Definition

Solving a logical conundrum by positing a universal dictator.

To move from a logical conundrum to an other-worldly aristocrat. It is to say you are proving God, when what you're doing is legitimizing the LORD ALMIGHTY.

The proper response: that's an interesting logical puzzle, but it's got nothing to do with aristocracy. A logical puzzle is not the same thing as a shepherd Lord.

Because there are preconditions, there must be a God.

The Deistic Gambit

1) theological castling, from logical conundrum to God - MotP

2) the Lord's Leap, from God to Lord

3) the Shepherd's Crook, the Lord owns the female body

4) the Piper's pay, who patronizes the arts

5) the Ladder of Orthodoxy (Jacob's ladder), God as source of normativity

Badinage's version of the Kalam argument. Anything that begins to exist has an uncountable infinity of preceding events (so-called causes).

Must we rely on the patronage of the powerful? Do the rich own the ideas?

Theological castling--the disingenuous Socratic-Abrahamic bait and switch: to elucidate the apeiron and then to claim it as the Shepherd Lord.
