Yes, God Almighty can create a stone it cannot lift! Why? For the simple reason that God Almighty is not the form of human beings! Also God Almighty acts as a Dhrista (onlooker) and does not interfere with the creation of his. I shall illustrate this with an example. When the designer of a supercomputer completes his innovation... his job is over!

When we feed a query into the supercomputer... does it require the interference of the builder of the computer! The processor in the background does all the work! In our practical life what is this processor! The processor primarily is our soul atman that governs itself through the doctrine of karma... as we sow so shall we get... nothing less or more!

God Almighty under no circumstances interferes with the creation of his! Why? When God Almighty explodes itself with a big bang to create a Cosmos... how we can expect God Almighty to interfere in the creation of his! And what is God Almighty? The combined celestial power of all purified souls atmans in the Cosmos is what we know is God Almighty!

The power of God Almighty is beyond the comprehension of most human beings. Every soul atman is a minuscule God Almighty. If a grain of sand is individual soul atman... the whole mound God Almighty! Reaching God Almighty is the end crux of life... the goal of every living being including human beings!

The mother of all explosions... the sacred big bang results in all purified souls atmans getting scattered all over the Cosmos! These spreading souls’ atmans gather impurities on the way similar as a rolling ball gathers moss. To cleanse itself of the impurities within... every soul atman manifests a series of 8.4 million bodies.

The last 1.1 million manifestations are in the human form alone! The moment human beings reach the end of cosmic life... the 8.4 millionth manifestation all is over for the soul atman within! The liberated soul atman finally regains its original pure pristine form. Having liberated forever from the cycle of birth and death... the soul atman need not manifest a body again!

The concept of God Almighty is not easily understood. The prime reason why God Almighty ordained a journey of 8.4 million manifestations before human beings gained enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha). The liberated soul atman finally gains entry into the kingdom of God (aka Baikuntha in Hinduism)... a point of no return!

For the first question:
ahh, a classic case against God: the arguement of the illogical. Can God create a stone so big that even he couldn't lift it? If he can't, then he is not omnipotent (he is not more powerful than himself), if he can, then there are limitations on Gods power, and therefor, not omnipotent. It's a logical catch-22 that directly confronts anything claiming omnipotence, and in this case, demonstrating how omnipotence is not logically possible

For the next question:
That depends! Can God create a bottle of Pepto-Bismol so big that it cures him of said weeklong squirts? Does God use a toilet? Or does he just wear diapers? Maybe God just wills the poo away as it comes out?

Does God even have a butt-hole? Man was created in his image, wasn't he? So it stands that if Man has a butthole, and man is the image of God, then God has a butthole, along with a stomach and a taste for burritos. And if man was created in God's image, then when God enjoys the spicy goodness, it could potentially give him the squirts for a week! And if that happens, God just needs to drink from the presumably cosmic-sized Pepto-Bismol bottle and he is all better!

Yah, yah, yah, all He or She has to do is create a stone that is ALMOST too hard to lift, double its size, and keep doubling it until even God can't lift it. As wise as God is, I'm sure that before creating it, He/She/It would pick a good place to store it and create it right there. Even then, it wouldn't stay there very long. A stone that heavy would fall right out of the bottom of the universe and keep on falling forever. Even God wouldn't dare to dive after it because, after all, what would He or She or It do with it once catching up with it? And if you find it, don't YOU go breaking your back trying to life the stone that not even God can lift. [And I never saw anywhere in the Bible where it said God eats burritos. Next question?

If that was a serious question, then yes I believe he can. He;d have the power to do whatever he wants; although with that power he'd prolly invent a reaaaaaal comfy toilet-lounge.... or some unhuman method of not feeling the pain associated with hot burritos.

Apart from that:
That's how the universe was created - One day, while God was creating a gigantic and uber heavy chillly-covered-planet err... stone... he took a break and decided to pick some of the chilies off the trees on that planet. He started to munch on it then realised it was too hot, so he ran left and ran right, but finally when the heat died he tried to pick up the planet that burnt his tongue.

Eventually he realised that he couldn't lift it, so he kicked it (with the aid of a few black hole projections) and the planet was sent spiraling into a collision course with other planets. Eventually the large planet broke and created many 'hot' stars, of which one is the sun... flaming away in all it's taco-chilli goodness... (It's really just one hot flaming chilly in the centre!).

Oh yeah, and that's when he discovered his love for over-sized 10-pin bowling... i think...

Since stones are mass and God is not, the question of lifting a stone does not apply. Can He create a stone that he cannot MOVE is a more valid phrasing of the question. The answer is no. There are too many ways to move a mass using the existing forces of nature (which God created).

why waste your time on questions like these? i mean im not judging you or anything. There is one thing God cannot do and that is to lie. God cannot lie because He is the truth. Look into Islam and Christianity, i mean really look into it, not just waht you know already. Borrow the Holy Books from the library in English and read them urself, i think you'll find them very interesting adn if youre already Christian or Muslim then itll be interesting for you to find out another point of view and its good to expand your knowledge, trust me. Im not trying to be mean, im really sorry if i sound like i am, i just really love God and im here to stand up for Him.
P.S. I agree with the girl who said it's not good to take God's name in vain becuz everytime you say/write it God looks and sees if you need Him or are talking good about Him but you are just Joking. Also God said to not say Oh my and then God. most ppl dont know that

If batman was poisoned by the joker and the only way he could get the antidote was by killing a little girl, would he? On the one had he would have to end a life to save his own, but on the other hand, by killing the child (and thus saving his own life) he will the ability to save many other lives in the future.

Many men use to spend millions of moments debating on how many angels could fill up the eye of a needle. I think you may have come up with a 21st century version of those great questionable questions.
