Edit - Also, that quote is supposed to be the atheists' "shitty omniscience" argument, which is why you got so extremely butthurt by my observation. Come, now, don't act like an evangelical Christian regarding your beliefs. 🙂


Your constant need to b1tch and moan about a f*cking parody video, and constant editing and re-editing of your replies is already indicative of an incoming meltdown.

Keep it up, the ensuing hilarity is always fun to watch.👆

No thanks. It's pretty obvious what I'm talking about..

Sorry, I am not in the mood for playing detective right now. Either explain what exactly is it that you're trying communicate here, or cease and desist with this bullsh1t.

Keeping knocking down those strawmen. Let me know how that works out for you.

I am beginning to think that beginning the second season of Supernatural as part of my marathon run of the series would be far more productive than partaking in a discussion with you right now. On another note, concession accepted.

And yet...and yet...you're the one butthurt.

You tried. That's what counts. 😄

Nope. You do your own simplistic thinking. 🙂

Enjoy!

Edit - You could ask for help. I'm sure there is an adult around with at least a high school education.

Q hasn't done anything that odin couldn't do, Q is at best skyfather level I think.

A very unclever "No you!!!" response. I honestly expected better. You just keep disappointing more and more.

So the meltdown is finally upon you. Wonder how many pages it'll last this time.

This thread's premise was vindicated by Quinn a long time ago.

Are you implying it isn't nonsense?

Just read the thread further. It seems you're convinced the paradox is not nonsensical. Never mind my question.

I am not just implying, I am openly stating so.

Good. I find the assertion downright sloppy and nonsensical, but I respect your faith and your beliefs 👆

Q isn't truly omnipotent. Just very powerful reality warpers. Whether they achieved this power innately or are somehow using highly advanced tech isn't really known. But I think it's probably innate, since you had the one girl who was born a Q and she wasn't given any kind of tech. So okay I guess we do know.

Approximate number of things in fiction that are 'truly' omnipotent in the 'can do absolutely anything, can't be opposed' sense:

Most attempted depictions of 'omnipotent gods' fall way short.

However, in the more generic/colloquial, not capable of doing *anything* but of such a higher level that there's nothing else close in their universe, Q's qualify.

You could find a few obscure things in fiction that are. But with stuff like tv and comics the more appearances an "omnipotent" has the more chances it has to..not really be shown as omnipotent.

Basically, the vaguer they are, the better, but even novels usually introduce information to indicate it falls short.

Q's are the most wretched creatures of Star Trek, pure sucm.

Not necessarily. Ambiguity simply makes it difficult to scrutinize—but that doesn't mean that there's anything more there. You can be very explicit in the presentation of omnipotence if you know what you're doing. The problem is that writers generally aren't well-versed with omnipotence as presented in in contemporary philosophy and classical theism; and thus are very likely to misrepresent it. The doctrine of divine simplicity is an argument that anyone who is not aware of will contradict if they go on to explain omnipotence beyond its dictionary definition.

Why? Sure Q himself is a dick and his kid was a dick too. But that one Q who wanted to commit suicide seemed nice lol.

I liked the Douwd, who killed a race of 50 billion just by thinking.
