If there is a God, why would it HAVE to be all powerful? (be able to see into the future, know what a person is thinking, etc.)
We are so used to this supposition that many people take that if there is some sort of God, that God must automatically be omnipotent.
Why would it HAVE to have a personality? Why would it automatically have to care about anything and like some stuff but not like other things?
Do you think there could be the possibility that there could be some sort of a God (not the God of the Bible or ANY religion on earth) that created the universe, but did it in a mechanical sort of way?
This God would not necessarily even think.
Humans in this scenario would not even be part of its plan. They would just happen to be creatures that evolved through natural selection.
This God would not answer prayers and there would be no afterlife and no souls.
What I have just described is practically atheism.
