>But such terms are complete contradictions. The contradiction comes from equating words to reality, or words being accurate representations of reality. Words are only symbols, symbols that have a specific meaning related to your current circumstance. The words you are reading now will affect you differently than they will someone else reading them. The contradiction comes from assuming you possess the one true interpretation of some transcendental concept. In other words, you assume your perspective is the correct one, and your criticism and subsequent behavior is a result of that assumption. Let's assume then, as is custom, that we both possess the correct interpretation of the symbols involved, what would be the next logical step in determining the future outcome? Science of course, testing each interpretation to some empirical and objective measurement, something we can both agree to having some sort of validity. Only then, do we actually understand god, the way things function. If science is true and consistent, then what works at one level works at all levels, or it is not a true and consistent concept, then it is pseudo science, or half assed science. >How can an all-powerful being also have Free Will? Free will is a concept, nothing inherently possesses will, or free will, that is a perception that arises from our own limited point of view. We can create the concept of will, and freedom, and mash themtogether to create a new concept through linguistic fusion. These concepts, like the left's concept of gender have no influence on the real world and at best are mental delusions to pacify our own frustrations at our incompetence and, or ignorance. >To have complete control over everything is to be a slave over your own desire. Then we understand that concepts taken to extremes cancel themselves out. How much control do you have? Do you think I like trolling people, or that it's just hard wired into my very being? Am I actually trolling you or is there something deeper behind the looping gibberish? We like to think we are in control, but our intentions and the resulting physical interactions are on completely unrelated time scales. In other words, what the body and physical environment experience and respond to is far faster, and far more immediate than your half second reaction time. That half second gap builds up in every instance you have to stop and think, even if only for a split second. How many times have you had to do that in order to understand something? How far behind is your conscious mind from your actual body and physical environment then? 10-20 billion years? You can hardly say you're in control, if you're this far behind everything that's transpired before you, in order to reach this point. >Anything that you want shall be. >Anything that displeases you shall vanish. Sounds like some leftist demonic clap trap my brother. What is, is what always has been and always will be, you are not separate from that, you are a partial yet whole part of that. >So God, in his Infinite and perpetual Wisdom, Killed himself, shattered himself and created the Universe and all of us. And we all have a tiny kernel of God within us. Sounds pretty yin yang if you ask me.
