Wenn es also einen sehr mächtigen Gott gibt, der in der Lage war, das gesamte Universum inklusive der Naturkonstanten, Schwerkraft etc. zu schaffen: wie erklären sich die Gläubigen eigentlich dann die angebliche Notwendigkeit, diesen Gott ständig mit Gebeten, Ritualen, Kleidervorschriften, Gesängen etc. erfreuen zu müssen? Ich meine: eine göttliche Kraft, die unter anderem die Gravitation erschaffen hat, die hat doch bestimmt keine solch kleinlichen Bedürfnisse - noch dazu ausgeübt von den Bewohnern eines einzelnen, winzigen Planeten im All.

Keith Ward argumentiert für die angebliche mentale, intellektuelle Einfachheit Gottes wie folgt:

"God is simple in the sense in which a being that acts on one or two general principles is simpler than a being that acts on many different and changing principles. The simplest sort of mind is a mind that does not consist of many arbitrarily linked and contingent elements. It is a mind that is wholly rational and intelligible, and that acts on principles that are consistent and reliable. God is simple in this second sense, of being a mind that works on elegant, perspicacious and rational principles.
The God hypothesis posits that there is a mind that knows all possible states. [meine Hervorh.] It can distinguish between good and bad (rationally desirable and undesirable) states. If it acts, it will do so in order to realize and enjoy good states. And it will obviously choose the best possible states for itself, so that it will be supremely good (again, in the sense of being supremely desirable for its own sake). This hypothesis is the basis of the final personal explanation of the universe that is postulated by theism.
It follows that, on this hypothesis, God acts on just one fundamental principle, the principle of creating for the sake of goodness. That is the simplest and most comprehensive principle there could be. And God knows, not by happening to gather information from many external sources, but by knowing the divine nature itself, with the ideas of all possible states of being that it contains, and by knowing all actual states as the products of its own action. [meine Hervorh.]"

(Ward, Keith. Why There Almost Certainly Is a God: Doubting Dawkins. Oxford: Lion Hudson, 2008. pp. 48-9)

Aber einen Geist als einfach zu bezeichnen, der Ideen, d.i. mentale Repräsentationen, aller möglichen und wirklichen Sachverhalte enthält, ist schlichtweg widersinnig, besonders da deren Anzahl unendlich ist. Ein allwissender Geist, der imstande ist, unendlich viele Gedanken zu denken, ist alles andere als einfach!
