Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

I agree that "all powerful" is an ambiguity here. For example, the famous "can he make a boulder so heavy he can't move it?"

There will always be paradoxes in the universe. So you'd have to go to each respective believer to figure out what "all powerful" means. Maybe making a utopia is impossible.

Philosophy is fun

Indeed. Omnipotence doesn't mean to be able to do impossible things, thus God can be at the same time omnipotent and loving and create a universe in which evil exists, as it is a condition to freedom.

Philosophy is indeed fun, because philosophers know it's only theory. Religion is a lot more advanced than just theory. Religion is basically the first instance of quantum computing.

Every religion has it's own truth, but every religion is the only truth. Thus truth can clearly have different states.

Religion is all states at once, but depending on it's observer, it is only one truth at any given time and place. When two states interfere with each other, (when they get onbserved at the same time and place), you can get disastrous consequences, e.i. war.

All religions claim to be the truth, yet contradict each other. One religion believes in only one god while others believe in more than one. One religion believe this is how the world was created, then another says differently. If all religions can't even agree on the fundamental basics, then none of them are true. Moreover, scientific discoveries have already disproven many of the religious claims.
