if yes he is no more God and if no he is no more supreme because is so powerful that he can do anything

Yes she can for the stone and the god do not exist on the same plane and thus can co-exist without canceling themselves out.

Depends whether your God is a huge, supremely powerful being looking in at the universe from outside (in which case no, since he's in command of everything and nothing can therefore be beyond him) or a titan-sized earth-based kind of deity (in which case yes, just as humans can build objects which are too heavy to lift - but then he'd get his come-uppance when some greater deity or demon picked up the stone and boshed him over the head with it). Sounds like the beginning of some Hindu myth or something...

My goodness. I think God has more important things to do than worrying about creating a stone too heavy, not heavy enough--whatever. My faith in God is not contigent on a question about a stone!

Why not?
If God is all powerful then God can create himself or herself or itself or themselves or ourselves as whatever God pleases, which includes being someone incapable of carrying a stone because it is too heavy.
Why would that stop God being God?

God can create anything that can exist. Your rock can not exist.
We can define plenty of things that simply can't exist. A sure thing when gambling doesn't exist, since "gambling" implies some sort of risk. Play with definitions and you can find numerous absurdities.
Creating an absurdity has never proved anything, regardless of what you believe about God.

Yes he can, but then he would create the power to carry it. So that would put you back to ground zero. But, I think God is busy enough trying to keep us in line without going off testing his own power.

Depends whether you are correct in thinking there is a God anyway
Basically human beings evolved like all life on earth over many millions of years, then man developed a conscience, wondered about the meaning of life and then each race or culture on earth created a God in its own image
The only strange thing is that each culture/race independently came up with a superior-being mythology to satisfy their primitive consciousness

If God is there, the heaviest stone he has created is the power of logic which even He is unable to carry. We use it to negate Him.
In fact, God, assumed to be the creator of this imperfect world and incorrigible human beings, is not logically compatible with his image of being all powerful, all knowing and all being (i.e. omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent).
The truth may well be that we created a concept of God and our imperfections do reflect in our concept.

Yes, God can do ANYTHING. But I don' think HE will create something which he can't undo. I don't think he allow natural disasters to happen WITHOUT a reason, even for reasons we do not understand. HE should be far more capable than microsoft's UNDO button!

Well, God seems to have created somebody who can create a question that He himself cannot even answer, through just using a human logic !
So , on that , He wins !
