Is there a novel or more where Q made the claim of having met God?

[Gingerbread Demon]

I'm sure I read it in one of the novels. I have Q Squared and I can't find the passage but I think he makes the claim in that one and maybe another one. Can anyone help me please?

How would beings like the Q deal with living with a being like God if both existed?

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

There's one novel where Q does this. I can't remember exactly which one, I think it might have been Q & A.

PIcard says something like "So you're not claiming to BE God, just saying that you knew Him."

And Q, in a tone of voice so literal and matter-of-fact that it chills Picard to the bone, says "He's a tough fellow to 'know', in the strictest sense...."

I will have to go find this one. Thanks

It is definetely in Q-Squared

Q says he's hard to get to know and they refer to him as G when they talk with him as he doesn't like his name spoken in his presence

OK I'm still going to get the other novel mentioned. Thank you very much though because I always thought there was a conversation along these lines in Q Squared as well.

Just found it in Q-Squared when Q asks Picard for Trelane to be able to study humantity.

 

[StarMan]

I, Q as well.

Is it Greg?

 

[carcinoGeneticist]

I, Q as well.

I thought he claimed to be God in I, Q.

 

[KRAD]

It definitely was not in Q & A.

wasn’t “God” from Final Frontier in one of the Q trilogies? Along with someone the great barrier was build to keep out of the galaxy?

At least, in one novel, he claimed, that he invented the Platypus. ^^

Q claimed to be God in the episode "Tapestry." Picard rejected the assertion, of course.

I'm aware of this, I remember the episode well. I thought that in the narration of I, Q he claimed that he was God.

No, but novel is in the form of Q’s lengthy letter to God protesting the end of the universe. It turned out Q had met God before, in the form of a human woman who was killed in a terrorist attack in the 20th century, who was visiting and observing the physical world much like Q does, though Q didn’t realize it until he got God’s reply to his rant.

Though, in that case, since Q didn’t realize that there was a God or who it was until the end of the story, he wouldn’t have claimed to be a pal of theirs.

That is in Q-Squared at the tale end of the conversation when he tells Picard he knows God

 

[David cgc]

Wait, no, wasn't the Platypus joke in one of the New Frontier novels? The Excalibur trilogy, the one about McHenry and Kebron having their little adventure? McHenry figured out the Platypus was one of Q's. Or did PAD use it twice?

 

[Oz Trekkie]

It is certainly in Q-Squared, I read it yesterday.

In Requiem, McHenry is thinking about the platypus when he works out he is in a world created by Q and the laws of physics don't apply.

It's probably a nod to what he wrote in Q-Squared, just cos he could.
