We can extend the hypothetical? Sweet!

In that case I get to pull out my anti-god bazooka and blow the bloodthirsty cunt to wherever gods go when they die. I'll keep the teeth for a necklace, sit in "his" throne and then you can all worship me. Then I'll probably order a latte or something.

In this material world many sons killed their fathers and enjoy their father throne but how would you know if you could kill God if HYPOTHETICAL speaking would be you divine father? Can you bring a bazooka with you after your body death?

That is theologically unclear. He could however always built a slingshot out of the vocal cords that were obviously provided.

Because it's hypothetical Rik. You haven't given us any real parameters within which to answer your question, you just keep saying "hypothetically" as if that tells us exactly what kind of answer you're looking for.

Hypothetically, if God was a ten-breasted rhino goddess from Africa that actually preferred atheists over theists and tossed all the theists who type in caps lock into Hell, well then wouldn't you look like an idiot, huh? Man it's nice to feel superior through hypotheticals.

A reasonable assumption if there ever was one.

Speaking requires vocal chords... and air displacement.
How would this communication take place if I'd be unable to interact with air?

It is true if you have a body but what about if you are only consciousness?
How can you dismiss the idea that a consciousness can not communicate in any other way?

What you say is very strange indeed.
Yes. Hypothetically he could prefer those who never believe in him versus those who believe in him but look back in history.
Have you ever seen someone who rewarded his detractors and tell his followers that they are idiots?

But this is hypothetical Rik, we aren't talking about anything real here. You're doing the same thing to us.

Hypothetically god could be an interdimensional squid monster who has no vested interest in our world at all. Hypothetically god could be a giant perfectly-formed human being in whose belly button we currently live. Hypothetically god could be the mouse under your fridge, and just likes to keep a low profile as to avoid meddling in free will. Hypothetically I could be god and judging your salvation based on your spelling and grammar.


"Hypothetically" is a pretty useless starter if you're trying to make a point about what actually is.

I believe that it is possible but i am not asserting.
My belief can of course be wrong.
All i am saying in the previous post is to challenge Pocaras idea that it is not possible to communicate without a body.
Until proven that it is possible or not it doesn't make sense to assert.

It makes no sense to assert that consciousness can exist without a physical body because we have no evidence of consciousness existing without a physical body. Therefore we do not proceed with the belief that consciousness can exist without a physical body as it is an unsubstantiated claim.
