The following is a candidate for a proof of the existence of God.
Proposition: If a set is unique, then it exists.
Proof: If a set is unique, i.e. is properly specified so that a set having the properties is equal to the set, then even if the set has no members, it exists as the empty set.
Example x^2 + 1 = 0. Let A be the integer solutions. This set A is unique, but it is empty.
- God is unique.
- God contains other things and thus is a set.
- Thus God is a unique set.
- Therefore God exists.
God’s uniqueness.
- Creator.
- Moral law giver.
- First cause.
- Judge of the dead.
God is a set
- Trinity is a set for those who define God to be the Trinity.
- God contains therefore God is a set.

Oh, what a noble mind is here o’erthrown.
As soon as you postulate “God is unique,” you assume God exists. This is yet another circular argument. Bertrand Russell would be ashamed.
I think this is proof that you should return any degree that has been given to you. Any contribution to the school of thought you could possibly make is easily outweighed by the sheer ignorance of this attempt to abrogate rational thought.
The people of Alexandria VA, where you live/work and the alumni of Johns Hopkins University, Brandeis University and the University of Chicago where you trained deserve to know that you are an unabashed white supremacist, white nationalist, and anti-Semite, who advocates for the forceful relocation of non-white people and denies the Holocaust.
I have a friend. My friend rapes me in my dreams. He is unique. He contains semen. He is thus a unique set. Therefore, he is real.
