    I agree.

    Your argument contributes towards the proof that God exists.

    His creation is his purpose. And we are unique in that we are the only known created entity that chooses whether to contribute to God's purpose or not. We may alter our own purpose so that it meets God's purpose, or we may only serve our own purpose. God's purpose for us is to make this choice freely.

    And there you have it. Divinus Arma's meaning of life.


    Close your eyes in the dark. Empty your mind of all things external. You are trapped. What if you were like this for all eternity? Now you are like God. You may imagine something... and it will be so. Your daydreams are in your control. But what if some parts were independant and did what they wanted without your control? It could be beautiful and fascinating. Or you could have eternal nightmares. So to with God. Our horrors are His nightmares. Our triumphs are beautiful and fascinating to Him.

    Which road will you take as God's daydream?

    Thanks DA!
    I think I'll play the part that is very similar to Nietzsche's. I'll ignore him and then feel bad about it because I used to love him and I miss him.

    I never said that I am him. I only said there is no difference between us in how we are. That doesn't necessarily include level of power.

    There is another answer to this problem. Omnipotence has very weak Biblical support. There is a passage in Revelations which might suggest omnipotence and also one in Matthew. However, the one in Matthew is in context of being saved. "With God all things are possible".

    The source of the concept of an omnipotent god is taken from the Greeks and mixed with a Judeo-Christian God.

    Made in His image eh!...
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.
