Whose god?
The serial genocidist of the OT or the NT one that inspired Jesus to tell his followers to hate their families?
Glorious indeed…

God can be nothing then. I guess that is the ultimate in omnipotence: the capacity to not exist at all.

There are objects larger or more massive than me. There are forces in the universe that could crush my body. There are concepts in the world that are 'bigger than me' because the world works on might is right so much of the time.
Otherwise I think your last post is a christian platitude which has no real meaning.

I disagree that we NEED to acknowledge the wider universe. I DO acknowledge it because it is a mystery, a puzzle to be worked out, and is something I find to have great beauty. To say it is all down to supernatural monsters is to give up on beauty and puzzles.
The god you worship is not as moral as I am.

You have not killed up to 32,000,000 humans. Your god has admitted as much in the OT. Even if you put it down to justice, how was killing Uzzah moral?
You are more moral than your god. No question.

He is better at smelling bad than you!
(That is Richard Dawkins's analysis of Aquinas, by the way).
