Here are a couple observations I\'ve made about being omnipotent (all-powerful), omnipresent (everywhere at once), and omniscient (all-knowing):
Omnipotent:
It is impossible to be omnipotent. For example, if you were omnipotent, you would be able to make a bar of metal so strong, that even you can\'t bend it. Now, if you can bend it, you aren\'t all-powerful because you can\'t make one that you can\'t bend, and if you can\'t bend it, you aren\'t all-powerful either, because you can\'t bend it.
Omnipresent:
It would suck to be omnipresent. First of all, your nose would constantly be up your own butt. Everyone else\'s too. I\'m sure you can think of other places you would never want to be, but always would be.
Omniscient:
Knowing everything would also suck. For example, after you\'ve played a game so long, it gets boring. You already know most of the secrets of the game, it has just lost its excitement. Now, imagine if you already new all the secrets to EVERY game, and not just every game, but EVERYTHING! Then there would be no more excitement, no surprise. Your life would be extraordinarily dull and there is nothing you could do for fun, not read books or watch movies, or anything.
I put up this post because I miss the controversial and intellect-filled posts that were common a month ago, when I first joined, like the evolution thread and the New Program that Reads Minds thread. So, please post anything that requires thought here.
