In reply to: lark33i 's message, "God" on 20:21:17 07/09/01 Mon

An omnipotent (can do all that can be done), omniscient (knows all that can be known), omnipresent (present everywhere) Being responsible for both the creation and maintenence of the universe ("all there is").
The like-ability of the supreme being (and sole contender for that title) in the universe is beyond the point and should always be considered so. To hear things like "how can [such and such] a God be praise-worthy?" and such things always lead me to think "Well, if not for being all-powerful, God is still all-knowing. If not for being all-knowing, God is still everywhere. If not for being everywhere, God is still responsible for creation. If not responsible for creation, God is still the maintainer of all that is. If not for maintaining Reality, God is without Law above Him, as He is the Law. If not for having none higher, what can you possibly hope to hold so high as to find God lacking?"
