"Am I REALLY the only God? Maybe there's another God, even more omniscient and omnipotent than me.....Maybe he's hiding from me....How can I prove He doesn't exist?"

Haha, I kind of imagined that ^ as spoken by Woody Allen.

God: "Does omnipotence make me look fat?"

(Not existential, but I couldn't resist)

Can an omnipotent god make himself so fat he can't make himself look thin?

Can God wear white after Labor Day?

Crap! Have you been reading over my shoulder? I've been writing a story about that.

God: Not only that, but it occurs to me that I am a very complicated being. Infinitely complex, in fact. So I conclude that only an infinite thing could have created me. This thing I call God-squared.

I wonder if God is being put to the test by his god. How kind will he be to his creations, that sort of thing.

He seems to be failing miserably, if you ask me. Or maybe we're the control group that gets no interaction. But it's unethical to place people into an experiment without their consent. Therefore we must have given our consent, and had our minds wiped prior to en-soulment in the womb.

So do we trust ourselves, and continue, or do we off ourselves, giving up and screwing up the experiment? Haven't we just screwed up the experiment, having figured this out?

Logic! :crowded:

How is it possible to know you're omnipotent or omniscient, anyway?

Maybe the only thing he doesn't know is that he's not really omniscient.

"Hey, mind living out a nasty, brutish, and short existance on a crappy planet no where near as good as the heaven you're in now?"

"Kay."

"Alright, let me just erase your memory and turn you into a fetus then. By the way, don't **** up down there, or you don't get to come back."

This reminds me of a track from an albumn that National Lampoon published back in the 70's (maybe 80's). It has a preacher describing God: "He's eternal, all the time; He's omnipresent, everywhere; He's omniscient, and He knows it."

Ya, that's about it.

The only difference between this and religion is that, with religion, God doesn't ask you first. Which humans believe is unethical.
