[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]God cannot be omnipotent if humans have free will. Watching religious people try to explain away that contradiction is a good way to see how ridiculous religion is. That, plus what type of God would allow the Kardashians to be more powerful/wealthy than Greta?[/quote]

NP. Don’t know who Greta is. But a wise god wouldn’t create worshipful robots. A wise god would give his creations choice. [/quote]

DP here.  Please read the thing you are replying to.  PP is trying to show you the logical contradiction, that they can't have choice if God knows in advance what they will choose and creates them to make a bad choice anyway.[/quote]

That’s not how free will works. [/quote]

No that's EXACTLY how free will works, it is not how omnipotence works.[/quote]

Read or re-read the preceding posts on predestination. That’s a small minority of Christians. For everybody else, it’s choice.[/quote]

So you don't believe god is omnipotent? Please answer with Yes or No.[/quote]

You’re defining “omnipotent” very narrowly to fit your Catch-22. In other words, you’re gaslighting and pretending to ignore posts that explain a different way to understand God.  Go back and read those posts. [/quote]

So you won't answer it the extremely simple question?

Then I guess you fully understand the paradox you claim doesn't exist.  A paradox that has been understood about "god" for at least hundreds of years before Christ.

I don't blame you, really, I do not know how I would be able to answer that in your position.  Which is one of the main reasons not to hold your position.

No, I’m refusing to play your gotcha game based on your narrow interpretation of “omnipotent.” Your interpretation isn’t shared by most Christians. Stop playing silly gotcha games and re-read what’s been posted above. [/quote]
