Lol, what part didn't you follow?
Also, as I thought more about this thread yesterday, I fully understood why I put forth that this being would seem to demand necessity and true freedom from any laws of casualty... but for the life of me I'm not sure why I insisted it would have to also be infinite. I tried to Google whether or not there is anything philosophically problematic with a finite deity and couldn't find much that wasn't related to Christian apologetics and the nature of Christ.
So, I take back the "infinite" quality. I see no reason why logic would demand or even suggest this... and it makes me wonder, why don't more people just make their gods finite (as drich does)? It seems to get god, at least conteptually, out of some truly problematic dilemmas.
