Infinite power??? Well then, where would anyone have their power from, and if no one else had power, then where did the problems arise???
It is an error to presume that even God however great does not share power... Look at the history of human kind... At first there was only power, and people tried to tap into that power of nature however anthropomorphized into human form.... It took a long process and time before people began to see God as two, that is, a Good God, and an Evil God... Even our old testament God was a sonofabich... You did not want to get on his bad side, and it was hard to tell what side that might be since they were all bad... And plenty of people go to church praying for evil and cursing their neighbors and wishing every natural and unnatural disaster upon them for slight cause, and hell too, all the while saying they hate sin and love the sinner... They envy the sinner his sin, and do not see the suffering wtihin the heart of the sinner, but only the unrestrained joy of a freedom knowing no bounds...
No; people know they have slight power, but God has no need to fear us... The nature we cannot master is not the one without, but the one within, and mostly because we do not try...If humanity would only realize its slight power, then there would be no need of God, nor need to frame questions of power in absolutes... Just as with justice, and with freedom, all people need a certain amount to be happy and to succeed at survival, and that amount is ENOUGH... To an extent, God shares power with human beings... If human beings wish more power the only way to have it is to share their power with God, to do as God would do, to not go against the current of the universe, but to harmonize ones actions with it, with God... Humanity is omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent... We just have to turn on and tune in to have our piece of the action...
