Many MANY religions insist that god is perfect, and yet the ultimate good. if perfect represents all-encompassing, than isn't God evil as well? and insane? and immoral? in some instances.


If so, the devil cant exist, because the opposite of god would be nothingness.

God is everything.

Nothing. I am so exquisitely empty

There is no nothing. Once you define it, it is now something.

ahh, would you believe that god is not a being, but a force instead? a verb rather than a noun?

We can argue for hours. If a God is, in fact, perfect, there is no way you can comprehend it with your feeble mind. I mean human, not your personal - so no offence. Moreover, there're couple theories like that.

If got is omnipotent, he must be able to create a rock so huge and heavy, he himself won't be able to lift it. If he doesn't do either, he must not be omnipotent.

My point of view on God, religions, reincarnation, all stuffs like that: all is theoretical - if there's no possible indication any of this exists - it cannot because there' noone to prove it. More easily understandable - if you can't prove there's God, it doesn't matter whether he exists or not. If you don't remember you past life - there's no difference between there being reincarnation and not. Don't start those topics - they always lead to fights, since noone can ever prove their point...

Force is a noun :-P Beings are imperfect by definition, since they have no physical form. If God is force, he is unconscious, and pretty much as all-powerful as the Gravity....
