#Omnipotence
Trump is no strongman when it comes to #Russia or #Israel. If other democracies don’t step up, anarchy awaits
It is too easy to blame Donald #Trump for everything that goes wrong in the world. The ability of any #US president to fundamentally change or control the behaviour of other major powers is frequently overestimated
Yet by posing as a sort of uncrowned global #monarch and grand arbiter of #war and #peace, Trump perpetuates fantasies of US hegemony, #omnipotence and divine right ...
A quotation from Margaret Atwood
Perhaps he’s reached that stage of intoxication which power is said to inspire, the state in which you believe you are indispensable and can therefore do anything, absolutely anything you feel like, anything at all.
Margaret Atwood (b. 1939) Canadian writer, literary critic, environmental activist
The Handmaid’s Tale, ch. 37 (1986)

I landed in Zurich Dec 24, 2023. Barely one hour before arrival I took these pictures from my window seat. I almost cried. A breathtaking sunrise like this one once more shows us our Creators omnipotence, and reminds us that Christmas isn't the day of presents, but the celebration of His son's birth on Earth. #merrychristmas #omnipotence #birthofchrist #Christmas #sunrise #december24 #holynight

📚 book idea:
**"Wh̶ea̲ther God? - Faith in times of climate catastrophe"**
The main idea would be that contrary to popular belief, "deity of the weather" is actually a very sensible re-specification of #omnipotence for the coming decades/centuries.
A quotation from Byron, George Gordon, Lord:
«««««

Which I must feed on for a fault not mine.

Macron en déplacement dans les Hautes-Alpes :
"Je veux redire tout mon soutien à l'égard des élu-es qui ont parfois été agressé-es en raison des positions qu'ils avaient tenues - c'est incompatible avec une démocratie - et redire mon soutien à nos forces de l'ordre."
A quotation from Gaiman, Neil:
«««««
And I wanted someone who is absolutely and utterly powerful. It’s interesting because at the time, John Byrne had just taken over Superman and had announced that he was making Superman less powerful because he had become too powerful and you couldn’t write interesting stories about people that were too powerful. That star…

> ... who can defeat Omnipotence?
Me: That about sums it up.
Two devotionals side by side wind up complementing one another. (See image.) Now that's intersectionality.
My friend Mike B. reminds us of an important question that God asked.
@aljazeera_english yeah right!!!!! usa #impussiant against China. Behind in every regard. China's #omnipotence is realized.

> There is nothing too hard for God. There is nothing that God can't handle. He sends us forth as witnesses for Jesus Christ in the midst of the darkness and the power of His Spirit helps us to accomplish the impossible.
> That this is the case should be less than surprising to us. After all, God is the Creator of heaven and earth. If He could pull that one off, He can certainly handle the cares and concerns that challenge our witness in life.
