He's not God then. God is a being that has absolute power over everythin and anything. If he doesnt, he's not god.

Also no homo nish <3




Ah but that is simply an interpretation of God. Many cultures come up with gods that are not all powerful. Greek mythology has multiple gods and none being all powerful. Make sure to know there is a difference between being an immortal God and being an all powerful God.

Remember I don't Souly base my god off the Christian God. Be accepting that our interpretation of a God could be wrong :)

I've seen your swear, but I don't recall seeing you swear AT someone personally in a debate. Is my brain getting old?



I like this theory, but what about Satin's brothers Silk, Cotton, Nylon and Polyester?



<3 <3 <3


They made the best suits and sweaters ever and made a shop called hell and that's where Satan got the influence to name his dimension.

Guys you're all forgetting an easy explanation for all this that I've been stating from the beginning.


God is a dick.


But that's boring and I don't like that idea.

We could just write everything off in 5 words or less if we wanted but then there would be no debate just arguing.

Doesnt the Bible have a say on that? I think the Quran too, on how God's the supreme being an all.

Zman, you should really learn to edit your quotes. When you quote someone, you can remove the part of their conversation from the post that you're not replying to. Its very confusing to see you quote a mountain of text and then reply to one single line from it.

Thats his point, I think? That different religion propagate Gods of differing power levels.

Edit: Wait are you even talking to Zman? Or to devi?

Funny story about Gods actually, the norse ones are pretty weird. They are mortal, they can die. The only reason they haven't is by their immense power, but they still age. So they got golden apples for the job.

Not to mention that they can suffer never healing wounds, a more classy example being Odin's eyes, but an even better example being a piece of a rock giant being embedded in Thor's heart after a fight with one

Baldur died too right? A mistletoe was turned into a dart and he was struck by it?

Will do. It's just hard and time consuming on a phone because everytime I try to highlight segments I want to delete it un does the highlight if there is too much so I have to wait for word after word to delete

And yes that was my point of the theory :) and she probably was trying to talk to me and tell me how my theory is impossible because God has to be a supreme being. Well by the definition of supreme my theory can still fit because God is most powerful but not ALL powerful.

My theory has a more morally sensible standpoint than what would be of the Christian standpoint because if it were simply the Christian standpoint we could just say "God is a Dick" and go home XD

But in your case, God would still be a dick because he created life without having the power to protect it. He wouldn't be a dick of malice like the Christian god, he would be a dick of carelessness who allowed his power to be usurped.

I heard a version where it was an arrow tipped with mistletoe that struck and killed Baldur.

Yeah, there was a rock giant that believed his horse to be faster than anyone's, so he had a race with Odin's horse. That one with the eight legs, they had on everywhere all the way to asgard where they feasted in honor of it. Thor and the giant had a quarrel and duked it outside. Thor did kill the giant, but the hulking thing crashed onto him as it died. If it wasn't for Thor's son's amazing strength, he would have been stuck under there.

yeah, there was like a death threat or something against him, so Baldr's mother told each and every part of the world (Plants, animals, everything) to not hurt his son. But she did not tell the mistletoe. Loki caught wind of this and hatched a plan. As the gods realized what the mother had done, they started to have fun and started to throw things at the boy. Spears, swords, axes, rocks, nothing would hurt him. But Loki like I said had a plan, in the confusion, he gave one of the gods a mistletoe to throw at Baldr. Baldr died from it.

Yeah there are varying versions. When I was a kid, Encyclopedia Britannia also mentioned there was a version where he was killed with a sword that either named Mistletoe or was made of mistletoe.

There we go, wasn't there a blind God who threw the dart? A brother, perhaps?

Nigga they threw a mistletoe at him and he died. I don't even fucking know how that shit works.

Not 100% sure actually, I think it was more that no one knew that the mother hadn't asked the mistletoe. So ultimately it doesn't make a difference if blind or not.

It was turned into a weapon by Loki's magic right? So its not that incomprehensible.
