I wonder about a God the same way I wonder about the Universe. A core question I think everyone that cares to ponder it is "Why are we here?" While God is a philosophical concept it is a possible plausible answer as to why. Acts that seem random would no longer need to be random... if there isn't a God then the acts are random but at least a human would know. It really goes both ways. Anyone who doesn't ponder the ultimate reality doesn't really need to be in this forum but because we are it seems to me that we are still asking these questions.
I know I am and I ask beyond the religions that make no sense and beyond the tiny human societies that attempt to rule us with an iron fist... Why are we here, finding the how's and why's of the Universe are a complex way of doing it since they are our only lead so far.
As far as omnipotence goes... shrugs... a God doesn't have any need to be omnipotent or still in existence. Hell the Universe could be an experiment gone right, wrong, or simply awry. It is all so vast and amazing that I can't wait to find the answers.
I had to read that book for my Philosophy 101 class. "Why Bad Things Happen To Good People " and I simply ask the question: what defines a good person and who knows the mind of his God. The Rabbi seems like a fleshed out person but the Universe according to the "good book" doesn't seem as fleshed out as reality portends.
