[Serious] Could an omnipotent and omniscient god prove that he was God?

[emjay]

Apologies for the interruption but just wanted to say...

It's been a long time since I've been seriously interested in philosophy but on the strength of this video, and what you've said so far on the subject, this has me absolutely fascinated... it's just struck a chord on many levels for me. So next job is to read the book it recommends in that video, Ayn Rand's Introduction to Objectivist Epistomology.

From the moment you started talking about all this it's had me enthralled, as something that appeals both it its message and its method... ie the latter being that there just seems something systematic about all this that really appeals to the way my mind works. As for the message, I think it will be great to learn about but I think it will also teach me a lot about general philosophy by means of its comparison with it, so a win-win there... sometimes that's the best way to learn I think; by noticing the differences between things.

So yeah, welcome to the forum and thanks for introducing me to these ideas

Emjay,

Thank you so very much.  You don't know how happy I am to hear your words.  My mission is complete.  I set out to get one person to take an honest look at these ideas.  There is a system, the most beautiful system and you have only seen a tiny fraction of it.  I am glad that you are seriously interested in philosophy again.  No man or woman can live without one.  I think the reason these ideas have resonated with you is that you can see their relevance to your life unlike post modern philosophy.  Do you mind if I copy your words and send them to Dr. Valient?  I think they would make him happy.  He has lots of videos on youtube.  I urge you to watch more.  His name is James valiant.  

You have made my day and my month and my years.  Thank you.

Hey there,

Sorry, I wasn't expecting this sort of response... you're welcome

I saw that guy in that video... very animated ... do you know him personally then, if you're wanting to sent a copy of my post to him? It's your call of course but I'd prefer you didn't... there's nothing profound in anything I've said, and tbh I don't see what's so controversial about this, that you'd have so much difficulty getting anyone to take it seriously. I mean obviously I haven't learnt the finer points yet, but the general message... or one of many... that logic cannot be, or shouldn't be, separated from facts (ie reality), if I'm understanding that right, seems pretty intuitive to me in hindsight.
