[Serious] Could an omnipotent and omniscient god prove that he was God?
#37
RE: Could an omnipotent and omniscient god prove that he was God?
Or the new testament. Or the quran. Or any of the hindu sacred texts. As I said, gods have commonly been asserted to be in the demonstration business. The RCC won't stop minting saints and you can't throw a stick of butter without hitting miraculous toast. It seems like a truism that a god could prove that it existed, just as any of us could do the same...and do the same..daily, with each other. That's hardly acting like a big and powerful person, as even infants can demonstrate their existence. A god..or....really, anything we're aware of...even if it isn't omnipotent or omniscient can manage it, and so the misplaced hostility towards the questioners and attempts to have some other argument are all pointlessly transparent.

There's alot that a spinozan god can't do..but..spinoza was an atheist, so, he might have been aiming for that... lol. Demonstrating it's existence, though, wasn't one of those things. I think that example is particularly illuminating, as even if we were to peel back god until there is no god, only the term god standing in for notions of the sacred and a sense of the numinous - these things prove themselves to the experiencer, at a fundamental level. If we understand those god expressions as culturally coded non cognitive utterances they are capable of being completely and obviously true by the numbers.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
