Here's an interesting thought, if God were really a God, as in if he
had total and absolute power, why would he exist? I mean if you're a
true God shouldn't you be able to experience everything there is to
experience in the whole universe, in an infinite number of way, and an
infinite number of times, and shouldn't you be able to do all that
instantly? I mean...at that point, isn't the only thing left to
experience, non existence? I guess basically it'd be like as soon as
you become a God, you would instantly destroy yourself, simply because
it's the only thing left to do that you haven't already done an
infinite number of times already.
