Arryn the agnostic and skeptic

Surely as a skeptic you would be first in the house to put forward possibilities of how something could be outside the boundries of a prescribed theory ?

And as for the 'spike' thing, bah. If i accept the theory that your all just ideas generated by my mind and when I stop thinking about you then you cease to exist till i start again, without god to be thinking about you constantly then 'ole whitebeard' doesnt seem like a bad concept.

This scenario is highly unlikely, but just in case... KEEP THINKING!!

Or perhaps you are the Moth, sleeping in the flower, who is dreaming that he is Spirokeat, and dreaming this whole world and its inhabitants who exist only as part of that dream....


As for the omnipotence - there is a cenuries-old paradox coming all the way from the Dark Ages IIRC, about God and the stone. Translating it in the modern Version that I, as software engineer, like more: If the God exist and omnipotent, than can He write chess program AI, which would be so good that it could beat even its creator?

(Obviosly the paradox part is that if He can't, than he is not omnopotenet, and if He can, than he is not omnipotent as well )


Now I am really off to bed.
