What's the word for slightly less than omnipotent?


A friend of mine was saying that she is actually PRAYING that Tiger Woods doesn't win the Masters this week. Like, beseeching God to prevent it.

I said to her, "that's pretty dumb."

"Why?" she shot back. She was getting quite agitated. "Oh, right, you don't BELIEVE in God. You don't BELIEVE in prayer."

"I - "

"Just because SOME of us choose to believe in something that - "

I managed to interrupt. "That's NOT what I mean," I said.

"Well what DO you mean?" she said, still pretty angry.

"I just mean that if God could stop Tiger Woods he probably would have by now."

"Oh," she said, then paused for a second. "You may have a point there."
