Do-It-Yourself Deity
What is God?
In an attempt to resolve any disagreement surrounding the meaning of the word "God", TPM has assembled a crack team of "metaphysical engineers" who have devised a new computer-modelling virtual environment in which to test the plausibility of different conceptions of God.
Here's how it works. You are invited to select from the list below the attributes which you believe God must have (or the attributes that a being deserving of the name God must have). Metaphysical engineers will then model this conception of God to check out its plausibility.
Please select from the list below. You may choose as many, or as few, attributes as you wish. Then press the submit button.
Omnipotent (all-powerful, able to do anything)
Omnibenevolent (all-loving)
Omniscient (all-knowing)
The Creator (of all that exists)
The Sustainer (if God ceased to exist, so would everything else)
Perfectly Free
Eternally Existing (will go on and on and on...)
A Personal God (a being with whom one can have a personal relationship)
Twain here, Despite this being a tool for discomforting Christians, this is still a good test of rather a "religion" can be reconcialed with science. Has some flaws tho, because it almost assumes an Abrahamic definition, which it does assume is false, and therefore is desribing a concept of diety unregnizable to most theists. I especially dislike the last point as being prejidicial against sun worshippers and worshippers of nature, idolaters, and people who had repersonal lationships with Elron or Vernon Howell, for example.
By the way, my "scientific theology" is between 80% and 100% correct, and the errors are attributable to the fact certain mathamtical equations are "false" when answered in English. I found that somewhat surprising. I didn't know I had a scientific theology, although I suspected I have actually found a subject matter for ontology.
