If God was the Devil, How Would You Know?
Post #1Questions for debate: If the more powerful being were the evil, and the rebel the good, how would you know this? What clues would you look for? Would it even be possible to glean such knowledge in a universe where the evil being is omnipotent and controls all? Is it a nonsense question because a being that was truly all-powerful would have every authority and power to set up the rules for good and evil and simply favour itself?

But when all is said and done, that is the way progress happens. So, to answer your question, I would submit that thus far, no one has disproven my philosophical stance.
Best wishes, 2RM.
