There was actually nothing moronic about my reply.

I was merely pointing out to you the futility of the concept that you used in your original argument.

Omnipotency is basically a concept that we cannot truly comprehend and you try to argue against it by discussing boulders and their relative size.

Your argument is basically pointless and has no grounding either scientifically or theologically so therefore warrants no further debate.

Oh, and explain how my post was any more moronic than yours. I'd be grateful.

It's impossible to be omnipotent. Because you can't make anything so big it is unmovable by yourself.

Ok, so those of you who say God could lift it, that mean's he's not all powerful because he can't create somethin' so big he can't move it. Doesn't it?

Moby's song "We Are All Made Of Stars" was actually intended on a literal level too.

God doesn't want to waste his time? And you say my post was "imbecillic"?

Seeing as God is supposedly everywhere at once, I wouldn't think time would really be an issue. Second, it was hypothetical! Nobody said God was actually trying this out somewhere up there.

My point was that if there is a God, he cannot be omnipotent. We've just proved it. He either can push the boulder over or not. Not both. He can make an a boulder of infinite size and weight, but he also has infinite strength to push it over. Therefore, although he can make one of any size, he can't make one that he can't push over.

The bit about "Christianity falls down" I added on the end because I knew it would get a reaction like this. I've seen the way people react to posts like that in their mindless pick-on-the-first-person-to-be-picked-on manner. People like security in numbers.

You can go on arguing the existence of God all day, but frankly it's an outdated and outmoded theory used to gain power over the masses in the past.

Cue more posts quoting this one...
