Is God Living A Solipsistic Nightmare? - a podcast by Daniel Dal Monte

In this podcast, I consider a bleak article by blogger Benjamin Cain, that can be found at http://the rabbitisin.com/the-nightmare-of-god-152c2cc8694b. In this article, Cain advances the thesis that God is the only substance that ultimately exists, and that He therefore lives in a state of solipsistic hell. His omniscience means He never learns anything new, and we are just avatars in a video game He has created to distract Himself. I think this thesis is interesting, but I counter it by noting Aristotle’s notion of God as well as the Trinitarian conception of God in Christianity, in which God has internal relationships between His three persons.
