God Officially Declared 'Never Existed' by Vatican

Vatican City (AP) In a long awaited anointment, The Vatican publicly acknowledged for the first time that God is a hoax. “It is the consensus of the College of Cardinals that the God Hoax not be perpetuated anymore and that The Vatican come clean and admit that God never existed in the first place. It has been a great run and we have had some fun times and immense influence but it is time for The Vatican to move on to even bigger and better things”, said Cardinal Vito Sardinia. It has been rumored recently that The Vatican has been seriously considering hostile takeovers of numerous very large multinational corporations and branching out into oil production, shipping, R&D companies, and even into the production of nuclear arms. The Vatican’s Science arm would not comment on the nuclear question and the only response that Cardinal Vito Sardinia gave when queried on the same subject was a fleeting smirk.

For if he existed he would be governed by the laws of existence - time, space, etc. An omnipotent god cannot be subject to any laws by definition.

...that's the neat thing about being God- you can ignore those little paradoxes, 'cause you're GOD.

Because God created time, space, etc, and as such they are dependent on him, not the other way around.

what about this one.

God is omnipotent, omniscient, and benevolent according to judeo-christian religions. In addition, all these religions agree that there is evil in the world. Also, these religions advocate that for a human to allow evil when he/she has the power, knowledge, and good will to stop it is wrong. If god is held to at least the same moral standard as humans, how can god allow evil?

God doesn't allow evil, he allows free will. Evil is a product of free will.

He cannot live in time or space because he would be subject to the laws of time and space. If he is not governed by the laws of time then he cannot exist in time. It cant be any other way.

I am not saying that god doesnt exist (for lack of a better word). I am simply saying that our concepts of him are completely off and that we cannot describe or think of him in common conventions.
