If there was a being smarter and more powerful than God...

[blind_fury]

would you worship him/her instead of God.

Why stay loyal to God. He's no longer "top dog".

 

[November Rain]

Well if she wasn't the creator, then why should he?

that's like saying if there was someone bigger and more paid than your boss at another company asking you to do something, would you leave your current responsibilities and go do it

 

[Halcohol]

Well, yeah, I guess if technically there was someone greater than God, then you'd have to worship them... however... one of the Ten Commandments says not to worship anyone other than God, right?

Who cares?

Nobody's ever gonna prove the existence of either God or God++. It's a moo point. Just like a cow's opinion. It's moo.

[Rambo, John J]

Well by default, wouldn't 'God' no longer be God?

AAAAAAHAHAHA... that was awesome! Gotta love the random commercial break, too

 

[Fried Gold]

My neighbour's dog is more powerful than God as the dog a: exists and b: exists.

However, I would not worship the dog.

 

[November Rain]

Well by default, wouldn't 'God' no longer be God?

how so, it wouldn't make him less of the creator of the known universe?

nor would it ruin all his deeds of creation and life.

again this is based on the hypothetical scenario of these beings and their feats over time.

well think of it as choosing a leader. If you have a leader who was right 90% of the time and then came along a leader who was right 100% of the time wouldn't you follow the new guy?

 

[Halcohol]

Nor would it contradict the written testament of the Bible, every word of which is true.

90% guy, i can kick his ass every ten days

The more powerful being could simply make 10 new commandments and take over.

Who cares?

Yeah, billions(that's billions with a "b") of people all over the world worship God so how can this be a "moo" point.

'God', as in, the 'supreme being'. As the omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient being that is the very definition of the word, 'God.'

He's just been upstaged, how could he still possibly be 'God'?

 

[Fried Gold]

It's a moo point. Just like a cow's opinion. It's moo.

The human opinion is that the correct terminology is 'moot'.

 

[November Rain]

here's what would generally happen, the original God would be called a pretender and the God+ would just be known as god...hence putting everything back into equilibrium.

 

[Halcohol]

Yeah, billions(that's billions with a "b") of people all over the world worship God so how can this be a "moo" point.

Because the established religions around the world have been established for thousands and thousands of years. It's not like someone's gonna wake up one day and say "I'm gonna change the world by worshipping someone higher than God!"

You can't prove that God doesn't exist.

Never mind. It's from "Friends".

because that's what is written on his birth certificate

 

[Fried Gold]

You can't prove he does exist, whereas I, however, can prove that the dog does.

 

[Fried Gold]

Really? I thought Friends was meant to be funny...

So you can prove physical properties exist. So what? God transcends all physical properties and is not intended to be proven physically. The fact you can't prove He doesn't exist is more than enough reason to consider His existance may be possible(agnosticism).

I don't believe in sky bullies as Joss Whedon once called "God".

God is just a name for the creator of our physical reality and the father of Jesus. You can call the more powerful being Rufus. You would change money to say "In Rufus we trust". The word God would simply describe the second best "supreme being".
