Limited by imagination. In which case he would have the authority to make any claim he could imagine making and the power to enforce it with anything he could imagine doing.
Sort of magical tautology or something.

Fair enough. I find this definition of omnipotence lacking as I wouldn't know what the rules are that limit the omnipotence. I mean, as far as I can tell I can do everything that's possible to me. So am I omnipotent?
Not possible to you, but possible in the entirety of the universe, its not a view I subscribe to either however.

Yeah that and...self-aware universes and karma.
Shaky-
I'd like to buy a few books for you. All I need is a legitimate mailing address to send them your way. I understand that trust "may" be an issue. For all intensive purposes, relay your work address -- just any safe address that you can receive mail. Send me an PM with the appropriate information. You have my WORD, I will not betray your trust!! What do you have to lose? It is free.

Dude. A list of book-names and a Paypal account that you could forward money into would do nicely, without the creepy feeling I get from reading your post.
Doubt shakya wants to read them anyhow. But I'm sure he's big boy enough to browse them if you just gave him titles, then decide on his own if he wants to buy them. If you actually want to read something, $10-15 isn't really prohibitive for most self-sufficient adults.

If he's not willing to get them himself, I doubt he'd be much more willing if they were free. Money is rarely an issue at such small amounts. I find it far more likely that he simply has no interest in whatever books you'd recommend, which would likely just rehash arguments that we've heard from you these past years.

You really can’t be serious.

ushomefree - My mother in law owns a big bookstore and I can get any book I want at cost. So, as DigiMark007 has said: a list would be the best thing to do.

ushomefree – Why don’t you do this instead. Take the money that you would spend and donate it to an organization that feeds the poor.

DigiMark007 - I can guess what kind of book ushomefree is talking about, and if I am right, then you are right.
