Michael

It's not a forced choice. He can choose to make the stone if he wishes and forgo his omnipotence.

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there lived a little boy named Michael...

He was only given 1 scoop of ice cream.

So what you're saying is that your statement regarding Baden's useless appendage really was unconnected to your statement regarding penguins?

He's not forced to. He's free to give up his omnipotence if that's what he wants.

I haven't said anything about having logically impossible abilities?

I'll try another explanation: A virgin can have sex, and if he does then he will lose his virginity, but if he doesn't then he remains a virgin. God c...

No, I'm saying that God is able to, but because he doesn't, there isn't a stone that he cannot lift, and so he remains omnipotent. Your mistake is in ...

The reasoning behind the stone paradox is: 1. If there is a stone that God cannot lift then he is not omnipotent 2. If God can create a stone that he ...

That doesn't follow. If God creates the stone then he will lose his omnipotence, just as if I break my legs then I will lose my ability to walk. But I...

That doesn’t follow. God can, if he chooses, render himself non-omnipotent by creating the stone. But he doesn’t, and so he remains omnipotent.

This is like saying that if I can break my legs then I can't walk. That's wrong. If I can break my legs but don't break my legs then I can still walk....

I'm saying that God can create the stone but doesn't. Where's the problem for omnipotence here?

I don't understand the connection between these two statements. A penguin's "wings" are actually flippers and are used for swimming rather than flying...

I don't know what you mean by this. If God can create such a stone but doesn't create such a stone then is he omnipotent?

Why? Maybe if he actually creates the stone then he isn't omnipotent because there's a stone he cannot lift, but that's not what your premise says. Wh...

To be honest, not going out tonight isn't a big deal. The big deal is how long until I can get back in the gym? It's messing with my gains! :cry:

Oh well. Staying in and watching Brooklyn Nine Nine is better than going to a club and finding the next girlfriend anyway. :brow:

Well, I hope you're having a better night than me. My plans were ruined by pulling a muscle in my back on Saturday and now I can barely walk – and whe...

I'm sure the last time I saw a photo of you you had big, curly red hair.

It made me cry inside.

Figure out what to do with my life. I think I’m having a decades-early midlife crisis. I blame my brother for reminding me of how much fun I was havin...

unenlightened gets thanked by name and he’s not even a moderator whereas jamalrob, Baden, and above all I get passed over as if we don’t matter. :groa...

They had evidence that he disgraced Congress and the Presidency which they decided to be impeachable offences. And tim wood is saying that we have evi...

Impeachment trials aren’t criminal trials. Being removed from office is just being fired, not being thrown in prison. You can be fired without breakin...

Andrew Johnson, as I said earlier. One article of impeachment for bringing disgrace to the Presidency and one for trying to disgrace Congress.

What will happen is unknowable. But precedent and one interpretation of the meaning of “high crimes and misdemeanours” shows that evidence of a crime ...

Impeach, then Senate to remove.

No, it just needs the majority of the House to vote to remove him (and then two thirds of the Senate to convict).

Apparently “high crimes and misdemeanours” includes perjury of oath. http://constitution.org/cmt/high_crimes.htm The oath of office would be meaningle...

It’s a political thing.

I have one of them. Can’t remember how much I have left. I barely pay attention to the letters I get.

Pawn to A3.

This is the Big Bounce hypothesis.

The EU have rejected a renegotiation of the current deal.

I think a majority oppose the Withdrawal Agreement but also a majority oppose No Deal (although not the same majority, of course). If the Withdrawal A...

How about Mueller? :wink:

Well, it would cancel Brexit which would be pretty big. Don't know about the political repercussions. Maybe more votes for UKIP at the next GE? Doubtf...

Parliament votes to have one. Or it votes to just revoke Article 50 without a referendum.

Brexit ruling: UK can cancel decision, EU court says The Government just needs to write to the European Council announcing that it revokes Article 50....

That's exactly why I think that No Deal isn't an option. If May's Withdrawal Agreement is rejected by Parliament then Parliament must revoke Article 5...

According to a YouGov poll:

4 options: May's deal, no deal, another referendum, or revoke Article 50.

Brexit: EU says no to May on renegotiating deal

There hasn't been a Democrat Senator in Texas since 1993. Cruz won it in 2012 by 16pp, but only beat Beto by 2.6pp. That's a big swing. I don't know h...

He ran in Texas.

So Beto.

It’s justified even if they aren’t convinced that it is. I’d wager that the consequences of a no deal Brexit are worse than the consequences of cancel...
