Why I'm Awesome (Part 11 of 7,412): BTW

I would imagine many people have been wondering why I write this "series of why I'm awesome" or whatever you want to call it. "Self-centered," "self-important," "egotistical," "full of myself," and "too much time on the hands" are remarks that I'm sure have surfaced in some minds at some point.

But why DO I write about why I'm awesome?

The answer is simple.

Because if I don't continuously remind myself by writing it all down, I'll forget.

That, and I like to write. A lot. And the easiest thing to write about when you get that itch is something you know, and something that I know fairly well is myself.

P.S. Anyone who actually thinks I really am self-centered and self-important and egotistical or even the slightest bit full of myself after reading any of the past 10 entries (or hanging out with me for longer than half an hour) probably isn't actually reading.

P.P.S. Okay that's it.

P.P.P.S. No really, that's it. Short and sweet.

P.P.P.P.S. It's really me you guys I swear I just wanted to write something short for once.

P.P.P.P.P.S. No, the act of resisting the urge to slam out another 2,000 words of high-minded bullshit did NOT cause me physical pain. Smartass.

Try this one. God is all powerful. All powerful meaning he lacks no good quality or trait. One of these traits must, if he is all powerful, be existing. Because, if he didn't exist then he couldn't be all powerful. So therefore he exists. However, by existing he is giving himself form, because it is impossible to exist without it. (For example, you can imagine the idea of a perfect Soda Can, but the perfect soda can could never exist in the physical world because that would then give it properties like Red and 12 oz or blue and 16 oz etc) Now if God has a form, he is no longer all powerful because there could exist a greater form. By giving himself a form, he could never reach the pinnacle of power. God, by definition, must be the all powerful being. But in order to be the all powerful being, he can't exist.

Of course this is just basic philosophy. Check out the Ontological proof and it's counter arguments if you are interested.
