Jesus said to her, "Did I not say to you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?"

The one thing that is more powerful than omnipotence is having the strength to not do anything. Imagine being omnipotent, what would you do?

In my mind, having the quality of unlimited power means you are not bounded by the laws of physics or the laws of logic. An omnipotent God can exist in more than one place at once and be more than one gender or thing all at the same time. An omnipotent God has no limitations.
So this makes me think the following: If you believe in an omnipotent God then why do you care about the theory of evolution when an omnipotent God can create the Universe in any amount of time along with all the fake fossil and carbon dating evidence. Once you dub your God omnipotent, you have a licence to claim anything you want without any artificial restraints one would have to assume by believing in the scientific method of inquiry. So why not just go with it!
Stop complaining about evolution! Be proud of your omnipotent God! Stop showing your lack of faith in God's unlimited powers be stooping yourself to the level of the scientists. Just be proud and smug of your God's omnipotence!

If God is Omnipotent then God allows all of the suffering to exist.
Perhaps He gets off on the violence.
But then, he does like to kill and in huge numbers as Noah witnessed not to mention the former inhabitants of Sodom and Gomea.
On the other hand, his son Jesus is a nice bloke.
Pity he is from a dis-functional family. They even have a family ghost.
Op, why must everyone have to believe as you do?
P
Do you really think things through, seriously, do you not know how ludicrous what you are saying is
Your arrogance is a good indicator of your intelligence.

I do like this theory. I feel that this then means the purpose of life is to "experience" it.

...I have this theory that we are God's way of experiencing the thrill of having limitations by vicariously sharing our experiences of joys and sorrows.
This sounds like a logical paradox. Either way it is answered it appears to disprove omnipotence.
So my question to you is this: Can God have a thought so complex that even She can't understand it?
Of course She can. An omnipotent God is now bounded by the laws of logic.
That's a nice compliment yet at the same time I feel the need to apologize, lol. I think religious beliefs are best left up to the individual. It doesn't seem right to attempt to persuade someone one way or another.

Point taken. I wouldn't do a damn thing either, and that goes a long way in explaining the state of the world.
You have an uncanny knack of making an atheist a believer, you know that?

Why the Creator lets us carry on for a time being so destructively is as mysterious as the nature of Sin.
