God, Existence, Authority - What Omittoism Says

This podcast introduces and discusses Omittoism, a philosophical framework that shifts the debate from whether God exists to whether divine authority is politically legitimate. The core argument, termed jurisdictional sovereignty, asserts that being a creator does not automatically grant a moral right to rule over rational agents. Drawing on social contract theory, the author argues that true legitimacy requires demonstrable consent, accountability, and clear communication, all of which are found lacking in traditional theism. This position remains ontologically invariant, meaning its rejection of divine command holds firm regardless of whether a deity actually exists. By applying Enlightenment political principles to the cosmic realm, the framework defends human autonomy and bodily sovereignty against unchosen spiritual governance. Ultimately, the sources suggest that rational beings should audit the heavens with the same rigorous standards used to evaluate earthly governments.
