To any theists...
This will probably be better posed to the more conservative,fundamental or literal theists, however any liberal thinking theists please feel free to reply. I'm sure you've been this route, but I wish to ask two questions.
1) In your opinion, is God omnipotent? 2) In your opinion, is God omniscient? |

In your opinion, has this debate already been run into the ground?

Let's start with omnipotence. This means God is all powerful. Does God have the power or ability to create a being equal to or greater in ability than he? Also can God destroy himself? These are fantastic abilities that an omnipotent God should be able to perform. To go to omniscience, God should be able to see the future as well. Would these assertions be correct? |

Actually the omniscient and omnipotent God is suggesting that it is very late and it is time to go to bed.
And who in the hell do I think I am to argue with Him. Good Night |

Uh Oh----
Knew I should have done the previous post a little quicker. Give me a little time and I will try and answer. It is kind of late though. |

OK Soul---------Short answer--
I have not a clue why God does anything he does. You could not be God unless you could do anything you damned well pleased. ----And not have to answer any questions to anybody. Isn't it great to be God? ---- Or was that "Isn't it great to be King?"---from an old Mel Brooks movie you know. Good Night |
