Ill make it my own make-believe god. Who IS omnipotent.

Would the question still be possible?

I have a task for your God - to produce a valid $1 bill. Even if a perfect, atom-for-atom copy is made, the finished item is not a valid $1 bill because it was not produced by the US mint.

hate to drop in , but why does a God have to be omnipotent.

[Golan]

This largely depends on how you define "God". If by god you include any polytheistic god then they can't be omnipotent as this trait doesn't make sense when one can limit another, whereas a monotheistic god is usually (not necessarily though) seen as omnipotent because otherwise he would be just a sufficiently advanced alien. Sure you could worship anything from a SAA to a cold burrito as god, but any "god" that isn't omnipotent could be overruled by another being - thus not being the "true" God in on itself but only a god because someone views it as such.
The capitalized God has some traits defined that require omnipotence though.

God is creator of the universe, so by extend she is also the creator of the US mint, which also makes her the creator of every single valid $1 bill that exists.

Yes, time manipulation. I just want to see if there are any examples.

I'm using the term 'arrow of time' in a non-scientific sense meaning the direction of time.

Why do so many of us perceive time as a vector? It is in fact a non-decreasing (from our frame of reference) scalar quantity. You can't go back in time without being in another frame of reference.

Physicists may argue with you on that point, mate .

Stop creating questions no human can answer .-.

Humans CAN answer it, there is just always an "if" you can postulate to reject any rational argument with .

Isn't that like saying "Make an object which someone else made"? It's logically impossible in itself.

I'd have to agree with this. Arguing the validity of something that is horribly broken such as religion is pretty much purposeless. It's going to be contradictory to itself any way you spin it.

Yeah right, because as we ALL know, God is the absolute equivalent of Religion...

And that every single religion in existence is horribly broken...

I'd say your "point" is even worse than the "point" the question is supposed to make. Making childish questions to nitpick a religion wont make the discussion far, neither will the question prove the (in)validity of anything.

It's my opinion that every religion is flawed, as is religion in general. So yes, every single religion in existence is horribly broken.

Well, obviously they aren't fully broken, as God does exist... in the form of yourself, seeing how your will determines reality.

It's my opinion that the American South is flawed, as is America in general. So yes, every single person in America is horribly broken.

Are you going to make a point or just write garbage?

LOOOOL

To be honest, the discussion is meaningless though, since by definition, religion can't be proven. If God were tangibly true, it would no longer be a faith, after all.

[Golan]

The discussion isn't about religion though...

With the logic I was using every country would be broken, not the people in them.

This is what people don't realize. Religion is a personal thing. I shouldn't be able to force my views upon you. You could worship a stick for all I care.

[TehKiller]

I agree with scope. Just stick to your thing and dont bother me, ill worship what I want and how I want. (and yes this message is also directed towards atheists who seem to be trying to fill my head that God doesnt exist)

That certainly wouldn't happen if most religious persons weren't constantly trying to fill our heads that God exists...
I for one do not care about anyone's beliefs, as long as they're not acting like fundamentalists.
