Nature of God

[loseyourname]

I'm going to assume, for the sake of argument, that God exists in this thread. Let's discuss what the nature of this being might be. The stock theistic model these days goes something like this: God is an immaterial, omnipotent, omniscient, omnibenevolent, completely free intelligent being who created the universe. Does that really make any sense? I can make a couple of pretty decent arguments that that is nothing more than a load of incoherent nonsense. So what do you think God is?

I'd like to see those pretty decent arguments before I reveal my opinion.

For the sake of argument, I'm going to argue that God is a killer tomato.

No, but the mouse is obsessed with me...or eggplants. I hope it's the eggplants. I hate to have to put him out of his misery when he comes on my property with flowers in his hand.

God is an immaterial, omnipotent, omniscient, omnibenevolent, completely free intelligent being who created the universe.

immaterial? so it only exists in people's minds

omniscient? hm...so God is everywhere all the time and simultaneously? I guess then God would be the fabric of our lives ...never mind, the fabric of the universe? that would make God material, hence refuting the first point.

omnibenevolent? how do you explain things like the Genocide, and millions of killings a day, etc, etc.

completely free? well I can't think of an argument against that for the moment.

intelligent? I don't know, how do you explain humans, who were supposed to be created in God's image? shouldn't have we inherited a little more?

I guess God could be the universe... or maybe humans at this point in time do not have the required intellect to be able to understand it all!

Seeing as to who stole my avatar, I'd say the eggplant is obsessed with me.
