Question: Can God create a so heavy stone that he cant lift?

Can or can not?

Label and define the characteristics of God.

<yawn mode="suppressed/> How long have you been on the atheist / religion-debate scene? That’s a newbie question, you realise that?

God cannot create a stone that he cannot lift because it is impossible for something created to be greater than God. That's the bottom line.

It's only a paradox if God is omnipotent.

I am really disappointed!
I thought that "God can do everything!" or "God can create everything!"
But you say that "God cant...."

What a God! He cant even create a stone!

Yeah, all this really does is demonstrate that the classical definition of omnipotence is illogical :huh:

Imaginary entities cannot lift even the lightest stone.

So, no.
