*Deist God: a mono supernatural deity that created everything and then sat back(somewhere) and let it all play out into the future on it's own with zero intervention.
My question to deists: Where do you believe your God is? Where is the "somewhere"? That is, how would you locate "Him/Her" if you had to? I am very interested to hear the answers. Thanks!
God is not physical so has no location in space. Omnipresence means that he is aware of every location in the universe.
When I was under the thumb of the Protestant church, I was given four terms: Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent, and Omnibenevolent.
omnipotent omni=all potent=power-- All powerful
Webster's: "having very great or unlimited authority or power."
omniscient -- All knowing -- Webster's: "having complete or unlimited knowledge, awareness, or understanding; perceiving all things."
omnipresent -- Webster's: "present everywhere at the same time"
And I was given - omnibenevolent
Which I was told was all-loving
Which Webster's doesn't have as a word
And considering God/Yahweh, that seems appropriate
I think omnimalevolent is much more accurate
And now I need a word for what it really is.
How about omnitaurum excretum? Omnimerdum?
