I don't really know. I'm inclined to say no but then that would put limitations on his being almighty.
So this god character can do literally anything, or only what is logically possible?

That's to say, can it create a four-sided triangle or a square circle, or does it operate within the bounds of logic?

well points for honesty but it means your belief system makes no coherent sense

Why are you expecting to find coherent sense looking into a "belief system" from outside? If ad's god is real it need only make sense to itself - if that. Similarly, geometry may make no sense - may even not exist. Does this god live in a universe with spatial dimensions?

and if it is logically contradictory, it's meaningless. It precisely doesn't make sense to or in itself.

That isn't an answer to the question. Could your god create a worse world?

Bzzzzt, nil points. Venus would be a worse world for humans but not for any life that may ever (if ever - its climate was once vastly different) have evolved there - just as Earth would be a worse world for Venusian life. Life adapts around its surrounding conditions, not vice versa.

We did have an interesting poster who liked to describe the bodies of named female posters as they burned in hell.

He's not a member now.

I am wracking what is left of my brain to work out who it was, as no doubt I was on the list! ;D

I seem to remember he attacked in particular another poster called Betty(whom I met several months ago) but I can't remember his name at all.

If she looks in perhaps she'll consider returning - would be great if she did.

I know this topic has been done before, but I thought I would start a new thread on it. I post on an American religious debate forum where a number of the posters seem to get orgasmic at the idea of unbelievers burning for ever in the fires of hell. Actually they are so crazy they are amusing. :D
Been looking in the mirror again Floo?

The person who gets orgasmic by posting on forums where people hold views radically different to yours for some sort of sick amusement, is complaining about a misrepresentation of what other posters believe?

In my, strongly held, opinion, it is just as well you do not post very often as your posts are unpleasant to put it mildly.

There is a poster on another forum I go to who is quite fond of being patronising, but none of us minds because he is evidently a warm, caring person, evident in the way he posts.

All very well & obviously exasperating for you but fact is floo seems to have been severely traumatised by such talk. When things are instilled in childhood they are difficult to expunge & will keep popping up. Does it hurt us? I wouldn't have thought so.
