If God could hear and see us all at once, know what we know, and feel how we feel, he would appear omnipotent. He could tell us what we were going to do next based on the amount of data he has access to (with the assumption that he has a perfect memory with instant access to any part of it). This seemed more profound when I thought of it, but now that I write it down it seems really obvious. Huh.

UPDATE 2018-09-09: the real point to this entry is to highlight that knowing things about other people varies in accuracy. The conceptual notion of an omnipotent God reveals that outside people can predict with varying accuracy hidden information about us. “God” is on the farthest end, with perfect insight and an ability to freely know what it is we’ll say next, do next, what we’re thinking right now. Even ourselves cannot know exactly why we think the way we do. This idea of an omnipotent God may get pushed aside by a faux intellectual mind because it appears “religious” on the outside, but a philosophical mind that’s free to explore any territory can learn from anything.
