Love your work! I would take issue with some of the presumptions you make on "G-d." You are really saying "within this box..." Im not saying you are wrong, just that is a lot of constraints on an unlimited being.

I think the only time Nietzsche lied is when he claimed he DIDN'T "tipple"!!! But perhaps all of Ecce Homo is an exercise in pure irony. Then again, irony is why Kierkegaard literally makes my brain hurt. Cheers!

I think existence is necessary and contingent. Something that exists requires space-time. Space- time requires something to exist. It makes no sense to me for something to exist for no time and no space. It also makes no sense to say that space is a nothing.

On the possible worlds topic, if an omni god exists, our world would be on the possible worlds list and therefore would be determined to play out how it was designed to.

Another question I like to ask is, what is a mind absent data? It would seem that a god's mind would be contingent upon pre existing data(information) for knowledge.
