How thick is Matt Slick?

Yes, it's a nice, easy cheat assertion, but the argument still fails for the reasons I cited: without any means of demonstrating true omniscience over simply really, really believing that god has it, you're just playing word games. Since omniscience is fundamentally unfalsifiable, no being, even your god, has grounds for claiming possession of that attribute.

Quote:You could be omniscience and act irrationally. I don't think your conclusions could be irrational. Knowing only and all true propositions would exclude personal bias since a bias introduces something that is not true.

You're mistaking feelings for knowledge: you can know something to be true and still be so biased against it that you'll conclude the opposite anyway. Bias is a statement of position regarding a claim, not of the truth of that claim. Cognitive dissonance, the state of believing a thing contradictory to what is known to be true, is a well known psychological condition, which plays well into my other suggestion, which is that god might be insane: true objective input fed through a fundamentally distorted mind to reach a conclusion means that the conclusions don't have to be true themselves.

It would explain a lot of the christian god's behavior, actually.
