If God is Omnipotent...

Name: Anonymous 2018-09-28 17:30

Can it create another omnipotent God?
Can it revoke its own omnipotence?

If God has /etc/passwd, does it have /etc/shadow?

Omnipotence is claimed only by theologians, the scriptures of all religions shows God(s) to be limited spiritual forces, without omni-powers ascribed to them. Ignorant, petty and temper-tantrum prone gods, suspiciously similar to bronze age kings and aristocracy.
Also, omnipotence opens lots of logic paradoxes that suggests its logically inconsistent with reality. Edited on 28/09/2018 17:40.

Even back then people understood that geometry and logic are more absolute laws than presumed omnipotence(see example of Thomas Aquinas )

you can use unix to explain god and omnipotence
god is the root user
you are a user with normal privileges
root can perform rm -rf --no-preserve-root / if they really want to, but they wouldn't want to

If God gave us free will, how can everything be part of God's plan? If everything is part of God's plan, how can we have free will?

free will doesn't exist, everything is just interactions of particles and physics and shit

god created something similar to Conway's Game of Life

If yesterday i firmly decided to stop drinking tea, today not drinking tea would be expression of previous plan.
Its free will, since today i can reconsider the decision or follow it, but according to that experiment "something decided back in the past isn't free will". Have they tried more ambiguous and longer experiment, where subject would decide something and could have time to reconsider it before committing to choice, the argument would be much stronger if you predict that.

Theoretically, God is omnipotent due to existing outside of time, or operating outside of the sense of duration we associate with consciousness and action. Therefore God can't do anything that we can perceive or put into words.

Imagine, if you will, that the Earth was round and stars were great balls of fire. In this scenario the sky would be pitch white as all the light of the stars saturated the sky over eons. You would not be able to distinguish between different stars, just as you are not able to distinguish between actions made by God.
