Here Lies God R.I.P.

[NoMoreFaith]

It is utterly ridiculous to think that the one true God of the Bible could die. He's the almighty creator. In addition, the idea that God would kill himself because he's bored is even more ubsurd.

You people think MY ideas are out there? Wow.

First off, congratulations are in order for reviving a thread that's almost a year old. Well done.

Second, there are many premises out there where some theists/deists/pantheists believe god is no longer 'alive' or even a god any more.

This is down to a lack of imagination on your part. Imagine if you will, god is existence, he is all that exists in an endless void of nothingness, eventually he's no longer content with himself and becomes lonely. He tries to create another god to keep him company. Trying to divide himself results in its own "destruction", god from the singularity explodes in a big bang and his remains, energy that cannot be created or destroyed, form our universe today. Eventually the big crunch may one day occur when the cosmos contracts in on itself and god reforms and reconstitutes itself. It grows bored of being lonely again and tries to create another god only to suffer another explosion that forms a new universe, and so on, ad infinitum.

I'm obviously not theist, but isn't this a woolly definition of God. Trying to create another God which results in his own destruction would defy the concept of Omniscience, and even to a certain extent Omnipotence, as it indicate he doesn't know, and secondly, cannot do everything.

Unless we're going back to a hugely powerful supernatural entity whom does not have these aspects, in which the definition of God becomes irrelevant and you could easily apply the definition to any sufficiently advanced alien etc.
