Its like asking questions about who would win a super hero battle.

They're all fictional characters, who gives a fuck?

superman fans?


Well Superman is too super in my opinion. Its a good thing kryptonite can be found everywhere.

oic, you more of a Spiderman fan then? or Batman?

Well you see one is too super, and the other has like nothing super. Its like comparing a god to a man.

I prefer heroes like Spiderman, the Xmen, etc. They have powers but not ridiculously too powerful.

oh come on fellow atheists; it's clearly not a question aimed at us. Nor, theists, is it an attack on your believes. I'm fairly certain it was a question first asked by theists in an attempt to comprehend the powers of their dieties.

And for such theists, the omnipotence paradox (that's what it's called) has often proved a lively debate, with Aquines, Descartes, Averroes and many other great philosophers weighing in on it throughout the ages.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

Could Jesus microwave a burrito so hot, even he could not eat it?



"Now, a fun game should always be easy to understand - you should be able to take one look at it and know what you have to do straight away. It should be so well constructed that you can tell at a glance what your goal is and, even if you don’t succeed, you’ll blame yourself rather than the game. Moreover, the people standing around watching the game have also got to be able to enjoy it." - Shiggy

Why would anyone ask an Atheist that question? That's like me asking you a serious question about the powers of Santa Clause. If you don't believe in Santa Clause, what's the point?

I was actually in a Philosophy class and we discussed this while reading Descartes' "Meditations on First Philosophy." Descartes basically would've argued like someone did earlier than we cannot comprehend God's power, and that asking that question would be like asking if God could make a round square, and Descartes would say that you have fallen into incoherency as even God must follow the rules of logic.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

Isn't the purpose of the creation of the rock to be that he can't lift it? I don't get what's the tricky part in that.



Tag: Became a freaking mod and a complete douche, coincidentally, at the same time.



A better question is why?

Why would God waste time doing something to test his strength? That seems it'd be entirely a waste of time.



"We'll toss the dice however they fall,
And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
