Yeah, I'm kind of just being difficult here with the technicalities. I'm usually more apathetic. \

You just totally missed the point. He has to make a pie so big that he can't eat it. He either can't make a pie that he can't eat, or he can't eat the pie he made. He can't do one of the things either way. No exceptions. No, what I'm saying is that saying that it is possible for him to fabricate a pie that he can't eat contradicts the very definition of the word. Being omnipotent would mean that it would be impossible for him the fabricate a pie that he can't eat, because he can eat any size pie. Being omnipotent would mean that it would be impossible for him the fabricate a pie that he can't eat, because he can eat any size pie. Exactly. You said it yourself. It would be impossible for him to fabricate the pie. Not so omnipotent now are we? You can't be omnipotent when something's impossible. ;o There's a difference between not being able to do something, and it being impossible. Oh what? I thought omnipotent beings had to have the ability to do the impossible. Guess we're lowering our standards here. By impossible I mean impossible to an omnipotent being. Paradoxes have to come to a rest at some point in this situation, however many of them there are. For a omnipotent being, impossibility must be obsolete so something impossibly impossible is impossible. I think this paradox comes to rest at a very clear point. There is no such thing as an omnipotent being. Whether a god exists or not can be debated, but if one does then they're not omnipotent. For a omnipotent being, impossibility must be obsolete so something impossibly impossible is impossible. As far as I can tell here, if we take out the double negative - impossibly impossible - i.e. it can't be impossible, so it is possible - then you just said that something possible is impossible for an omnipotent being. Hm, a recurring theme. I guess there can't be one.

I did a reasearch paper on Genesis for my school, and there is a correct way to do citations for Biblical texts, can't remember it at the top of my head, but I used it in my paper. So the Bible does need citations. Another point missed. He means citations for the claims made in the bible. If the bible claims that a guy with a beard walked on water, you can't stick a footnote on that and type, "god said it," at the bottom. Memory is the worst evidence, especially when nobody actually has the original texts.

If he was omnipotent, the part you have wrong is that he "can't" do something, because he can. Omnipotence would mean he could make an infinity big pie but still manage to eat it. I want 2 b liek this awmnipohtent sew i can has lots of M&M's and koolaid wut. You just totally missed the point. He has to make a pie so big that he can't eat it.

Antaeus [2283/2496] Fire Cape!

Whachoo doin' lately? :o -
The Blog Coming soon: assorted pictures. :o Hi, I'm Mensilater, and I've been playing since early 2005. I come from Canada, Toronto to be exact, eh? Over the years, I've taken a liking to fishing, and eventually got 99 in late 2007, topping it off with 99 cooking a few weeks afterwards. I later spent all of my money on 99 Crafting, and spent some time rebuilding as well as snagging another 99 - Defence - in the process, during the summer of 2008 while working as a camp counselor. I had no blog at this time because I went on an extreme hiatus after the forums crashed, deleting all but one of the posts on my old blog (Not the first post unfortunately. :P). What you see here is a small portion of what was here before, but without further ado, here is my blog: Recent News Old News [hide=] I totally botched the getting of the level. My weapon was set to train attack. >.< The bank is now substantially less following my Summoning training. March 9 - March 5 - February 28 - I have three dragon drops now. :D February 16 - :D February 11 - I've been getting quite a bit of stuff done. :o My first dragon drop, Summoning levels, Slayer levels and one of the most epic inventories of loot from one fire giants task. January 28 - Wyverns. :D January 25 - Lots of Slayer. :D Well, the elaborate goal is basically just 83 Slayer. :P But I need to do little goal bars and such. Also - Saradomin O Rly Owl has been grown. :D January 17 - 70-80 Prayer in one day! :o~ Mad lulz. January 16 - Still working on Slayer and Summoning. :D January 13 - I stopped slayer for a bit to focus on getting 70 Summoning at waterfiends. :P Recent levels include: January 11 - Just a Slayer level today. :D January 10 - More levels. :D January 9 - More levels. =P~ January 8 - Almost a year of blogging. Albeit with an extreme hiatus. I have achieved a lot of levels recently and look forward to getting back to blogging :o : ~EXTREME HIATUS~ May 14 - TzHaar quest and Perils of Ice Mountain done. April 1 - This one was a long time coming, but... all the void pieces. March 12 - Void Knight ranger helm. March 11 - Full Void Knight March 7 - 99 CRAFTING!!! [/hide] The Bank Picture (Somewhat old, but the idea is the same.) [hide=][/hide] The Stats These were my stats when I started the blog. These are my current stats. The Goals [hide=Completed Goals] Crafting: My third 99, I'm blowing all my cash on this one. I hope to have it by the end of April at least. :D Prayer: Basically one day I'll have some cash on hand, and I'll buy some dragon bones randomly and use them on Fire's altar, because he is a prayer fiend. This might happen soon or later, it depends on if I have money and I'm in the right mood. Slayer: I want to get slayer dart, everyone else in the clan raves about it, so I figured it would be useful. I will basically be slaying things for this. Not anything fancy, just hitting things with sharpened chunks of metal. Fishing: Why do I want 15 million experience you ask? Because fishing is awesome. I'll fish whatever I feel like. Combat: Because everyone else has it. Strength: To hit things. Enough said. I'll probably play pest control.[/hide] Woodcutting: I don't like this skill, but I want to get it back on the highscores and keep it there. I'll chop willows I suppose. Don't expect this one any time soon. Because it will not be soon. Maybe never. Agility: It'll happen eventually. :P Mining: I'll get around to it eventuallly. And that's about it for my goals. Not too ambitious, but I just like to lounge around with friends and do random things in Runescape, so if they were any higher, they'd never get done. :P List of Awesome People Most of these people don't use TIF, but I'll give them a shout out anyways. :D Nomoredead5 - The fishing shop was a blast, and the monster hunting is great. Keep up the good luck! Mchughz Alexpeeex Jayjaydude2 - Hasn't played in years. :\ Hot Asian44 The world 115 crew: Nccoldplague, Lil, Fw, Oigres, Batista, Katie, Anteres, Horus, Mikkee, Youpi, Gaundolf, Mini Jo, Warri0r, Daystar, Papasmurf, Gollum, Danzig, Nor, and Sdt.

Apparently only weekdays, which is no good because most of my friends are on mostly weekends :( Hopefully some luck tomorrow :pray: Wow... only on weekdays must be right. :P Keep up the good luck.(If that's even possible) :D It's almost like a curse. I can't get any luck when I'm out with you and Chach, but when it's any random weekday night I'm 100% good to go apparently. :-s Well, it's a pretty good curse, as curses go. :
