Imagine a universe in which there is an all-powerful demon. This demon, one day, decides to play a practical joke. He creates a spirit, calls it God, and makes God believe itself to be all-knowing, all-loving, and all-powerful. But because the demon is actually all-powerful, it hides from God the truth -- that God is not all-powerful, he just thinks he is.
Therefore, can even God be certain of his knowledge?
If so, then why? (where does the thought experiment break down)
If not, is certainty ever attainable?
Let's see how many people even read this far...
