So is it the case that you believe "omniscience" and "omnipotence" don't involve knowing everything or being able do everything and anything? Or what are you calling "omniscience" or "omnipotence"? Are you perhaps suggesting that God is little more than the i...

OK. So your statement "only people could be omniscient and omnipotent" is incorrect. Is that correct? Or did you say something that you did not have the knowledge to proclaim? It was written incorrectly, or at least too vaguely. The default implication is absolute omniscience and omnipote...

Have you NOTICED how often you IMAGINE that because you define a particular 'thing' 'one way', then 'that way' is REALLY 'the ONLY WAY' that 'that thing' should be defined, or could be defined CORRECTLY? When defining 'the One and ONLY Universe' as an energy system following a specific set of laws ...

NOT REALLY. One BELIEVES God EXIST, while the other DOES NOT, and 'that' IS about 'it', in a nutshell as some might say. ONLY IF you are MAKING 'them' to be. But ALL 'topics' can be based IN or ON IRREFUTABLE Truth. WHY would ANY one ASSUME otherwise? So what? And IS 'this' AN IRREFUTABLE Truth? AG...

The difference is 'your' 'self-government' only works for SOME people, whereas 'my' 'self-governing' works for EVERY one. Yes. I have absolutely NO idea as I have NOT seen NOR heard 'that presentation'. Okay. WHY would you even think, PRESUME, or even SUPPOSE that absolutely EVERY 'thing' that you ...

There is only One 'Thing' that could be, and ACTUALLY IS, 'omniscient' and/or 'omnipotent'. And, WHY do you say and claim what you do here? What has the definition of the word 'thing' got to do with absolutely ANY 'thing' here? 1. The word 'thing' refers to ALL, and EVERY,which obviously includes A...

So you are saying that people are all-powerful and all-knowing? Can you point to any of these all-powerful and all-knowing people? Perhaps name a few? If there is a God, does that therefore make God a "person"? My intuition is that God is the one and only one all-powerful, all-knowing per...

Why do you say, "If the definition of thing includes person, then only people could be omniscient and omnipotent." Why do you say that if people are INCLUDED in the category omniscient and omnipotent, then ONLY they can be so? Doesn't it depend logically on what else is "included&quo...

Okay. But WHAT 'Thing/s', EXACTLY, could be 'omniscient' AND 'omnipotent'? Which, by the way, the ACTUAL and IRREFUTABLE ANSWER TO IS ALREADY KNOWN. But we are JUST WAITING TO SEE IF 'you' KNOW, AS WELL. Also, how MANY 'Universes' do you think or IMAGINE there IS, EXACTLY? So, if you do NOT have AN...

[see above post by Age to rootseeker] I said "Self-government can work for a population of people who purely ascribe to such self-rule as the carbon rule of "live and let live" and you replied with "But 'this' is obviously NOT correct, and in fact VERY False and UNTRUE." an...

And, EXACTLY like a so-called "atheist" does NOT understand a so-called "theist's" perspective on 'existence', itself, and so-called 'personhood'. But 'this' is just BECAUSE the BELIEF/S of BOTH the "atheist" AND the "theist" IS STOPPING and PREVENTING "...

But NOT 'if' 'it' IS True. Which 'it' IS. Therefore, the 'if' word WAS UNNECESSARY in 'your sentence'. Although, and OBVIOUSLY, FROM 'your perspective' 'you' ARE STILL UNAWARE OF what IS ACTUALLY True AND Right here, correct? Which IS GREAT. BUT, ONCE one ALREADY KNOWS the ACTUAL IRREFUTABLE Truth,...

To me God is NOT some 'thing' that needs to be NOR even wants to be 'worshiped'. That a human being has come-to-exist WITH 'consciousness' of BEING ALIVE and LIVING in THE Universe I think is some 'thing' to MARVEL, BEHOLD, and NOT 'take for granted', as the length of 'time' that 'this' ACTUALLY ha...
