Don't pray for a million dollars, artisticsolution, go and steal it. Then pray for forgiveness, God throws that stuff around like confetti, so I've heard.artisticsolution wrote:Dear God,

Doc, I'm not sure that Reverend Bob has yet exploited the full commercial potential of his status as prophet. Then again, he probably has.thedoc wrote:I really think you guys are spelling it wrong, shouldn't it be "Bob the profit"?uwot wrote:That's a point! Reverend Bob, I know you're a prophet and that; is this 'God' the real deal?Dalek Prime wrote: I prefer Bob the Prophet. Vastly more amusing.
So how can you be omnipotent when you don't know shit about philosophy?God wrote:It's not as if I don't have plenty to do... Actually I don't... Giving Man free will took a lot off My Hands... but I've been following some of the Theist - Atheist threads on this forum and I thought it might be time to introduce Myself into mix.
Now, I don't pretend to understand Philosophy, in the same way some of you pretend to understand Me, but I have to take issue with some of the less reasoned arguments in these threads. I feel like someOne needs to step into the ring when an idiot invites others to intellectually kick him to the ground, and then as he lies there bleeding, covered not just in his own vomit but that of his attackers, he invites them to kick him some more, simply by continuing to argue like an idiot. I feel that occasionally someone needs to referee proceedings. Why not Me...?
Whilst the USA and The Middle East seem to be taking up a lot of My attention, it suits Me to pay the occasional visit to this forum as interactive subject matter. Feel free to ask Me anything. I can't promise an answer that won't dance in mysterious ways, littered with typos, but I should imagine, you philospohers are used to that by now. To be honest I might not answer at all... You Theists know I'm talking about, right?... But if it suits Me, I will endeavour to reply. As is the case with many of you.
I shall apologise for the typos in advance. This never happened with the inked quill. I invented birds specifically with the intention that quills would never become obsolete. Who'd have thought, eh?!!
Nice dodge, when you don't know, just try to put it back on the other person. No God, worthy of the name, would dodge a question like that.God wrote:I already gave you My answer: Go ask Eris.... In asking you to define I was thinking more in terms of this thread's wider audience. I may know what you are talking about but there are others here who definitely will not know what you are referring to.henry quirk wrote: No, Knower of All things, you tell me what or who I'm talkin' about.

Did you actually read to the end of the post?

I'm fascinated by the way men deign to think they know how (a) God would behave or react. It's like an ant being able to predict which books are most likely to make the Times best seller list.No God, worthy of the name, would dodge a question like that.
We're not on speaking terms.thedoc wrote:BTW god, (the one posting on this thread), when did you last speak to Bob?
Omnipotence and understanding are two different things. One is not a prerequisite for the other. What I actually said is, "Now, I don't pretend to understand Philosophy, in the same way some of you pretend to understand Me, but I have to take issue with some of the less reasoned arguments in these threads. " I wouldn't be on a forum that concerns itself with Philosophy if I didn't "know shit about philosophy".Hobbes' Choice wrote:So how can you be omnipotent when you don't know shit about philosophy?God wrote:Now I don't pretend to understand Philosophy...
It's true. I like to forgive... although it's not a given. In this case, uwot, I forgive you for suggesting that another poster steal money. I'm not sure you'll escape the censure of the police once your post makes its way to them.uwot wrote:Don't pray for a million dollars, artisticsolution, go and steal it.

Omnipotence implies omniscience, just one more quality that you are asserted as having. Let's not forget omnipresence and omnibenevolence.God wrote:Omnipotence and understanding are two different things. One is not a prerequisite for the other.

It doesn't concern Me the way it is an obsession for some of you and it's lack of practical application to Life means it has little impact on the common man. It's a navel gazing form of study indulged by those affluent enough to while away the time (and/or money) to be able to afford to pursue it.
I know these things, I don't pretend to understand them.
So are you saying that the Lounge is like the trash bin that get's emptied once in awhile? If he is God, then he would be able to make any or all of it reappear with a wave of his mythical hand. Go for it, delete the thread, except for my posts. Let's see who has the real power here. I would like to think that you're not just a paper dragon.AMod wrote:Hmm...Now this minor-deity, at least upon this forum, wonders where this thread should be? Phil of Religion? Metaphysics? Phil of Mind? Politics? Or just General or even the Lounge? Can you help me out here God.
p.s.
Maybe not the Lounge as that gets swept every now and then and this sounds like a fun and philosophical thread in the making.
Ahhhhh AMod.... It is your 'house', so move it where you will. I think you'll agree with me that whilst many purport to know Me, not many do. It was My intention to 'introduce Myself' here, as directed, and then chance upon other threads, but my popularity seems to know no bounds. I would suggest leaving the thread here and having it wind down as posters seem to be retreading well worn paths of thought with regard to who I am.AMod wrote:Hmm...Now this minor-deity, at least upon this forum, wonders where this thread should be?
