I couldn't think of a more fitting or better title. This is not going to be a fairy tale. Anyhow, let me continue:
Once upon a time there were two almighty beings...
If you think there's something wrong here you will either think that A) I have just gone mad or B) you will think along the philosophical line that I am about to trod on. I hope it's B but in case there's someone there thinking A, I will explain B.
The thing that's wrong with that not-fairy-tale-sentence is that there can never be two almighty beings!
I won't muse about whether there's one almighty being or not coz that's not the problem. But if there were two, they wouldn't be almighty. I discovered that truth when I was about 13 years old (that's a rough guess, because I can't really remember how old I was but it sounds better if I give you an age...). I was a Trekkie then and thought about the Qs and that they can't be almighty. Here's now the reason for it:
Assume there were two supposedly almighty beings called X and Y (had already A and B in this post, would become a bit confusing if I used those letters!). Now, out of some reasons we don't know and don't need to know, X decides that it can't stand Y anymore and therefore wants to kill it. Since X is almighty and therefore can achieve anything it wants, Y would die. But since Y is also almighty and we just assume that it wants to continue living, it won't die.
That's the whole problem and hence there can never be two almighty beings! Of ocurse we could say that almighty beings can't die or that there are certain rules but that would make them still not almighty.
This sort of philosophy is naturally very pointless and won't help us in our daily lives but since I thought of it, I couldn't forget it and therefore had to write it down at one point. This point is here and thus is my discovery.
You might applaud my brilliancy now!
