Can there be an all mighty god?

Well, we persisted for five or six more posts, but your Pyrrhonism makes any further discussion impossible. If you won't acknowledge that we know our own concepts, then there's nothing more to say. I wonder what you have in mind when you use the word "God" and whether you know what you have in mind?
Peace, Quag.

Who cares if God cannot make something too heavy for him to pick up? Here are a few things God can do:

1. Create the universe
2. Create a variety of types of animals
3. Create plant life of all types
4. Create man and woman
5. Create a virgin birth
6. Fulfill prophecy hundreds of years later and do as many as 28 in a week's time.
7. He can triple himself
8, He can forgive sin
9. He can provide salvation
10. He can make all things possible
11. He can walk on water
12. He can do thousands of other things that I have not mentioned here.

Now that is an awesome God!

A concept of something is not the same as something,
You have no idea if your concept has any truth behind it.
Humans have the capacity to create all kinds of possible and impossible ideas, the ability to think of a concept does not make the concpet possible in reality.
If we look at the number analogy.
The number can be between -infinity and infinity, rational, irrational, whole or a fraction etc. You know nothing about the number or even if it exists. Thus you cannot say anything about it with any certainty.
You are trying to claim you know something of God when that is in fact not true.
You cannot base a logical argument on a belief unless you admit that it is based on a belief and thus is not necessarily true.
leaving us with no other logical choice but to admit it is XA or XB and any claims that it has to be XB are illogical.

Anthropomorphism has addled your thinking about Ultimate Reality, Lefty. Look to it.

I did not know that word - I always use the phrase Bambification (Douglas Copeland).
 
Well, I don't know. However, there is no scientific evidence for a god so I don't live my life as if God existed.

Alleged to do. There is no proof.

It doesn't matter. I know due to my experiences and what I can see. What you believe about my beliefs is meaningless.

True enough, yet your belief (or anybody else's) serves not to convince those interested in factuality (evidence).

What you believe is meaningless when compared to reality.

You need to keep up with the conversations. I have already provided your requested information. I don't like repeating myself.

A dismissive reply like this one has no merit.

Quite apart from the fact that any information you have so far supplied has, by what I can see, been a constant repetition of your confusing belief with knowledge.

In the context of which not even "believing to know" substitutes for knowledge. Certainly not on such parameter alone.

That you believe is as much your right as to what you believe. If you'd leave it at that, no further questions need arise.

When you profess to believe what you know, they will.

The evidence (verging on proof) is the implausibility (verging on absurdity) of the alternative.
