If I recall correctly, Homer's original question was "Can Jesus..."

 

It's one of the fundemental questions of the quality of omnipotence.

 

Or "Can God create a boulder so heavy he cannot lift it?"

 

There is no reason to believe that God cannot both create a boulder that he cannot lift and not create a boulder that he cannot lift. Assuming you believe in God.

There are many thing God, in the Christian sense, can't do. He can't sin. He can't tell a lie. He can't be wrong.

 

There are certainly some things God can't do - I bet the burrito is one of them. And besides, if you were in heaven would you really be asking for a burrito? :thumbsup_anim:

One would quite imagine that most of the things appealing about heaven are in fact forbidden there. Fatty foods, sex, stuff like that. Everyone just sitting around going "God's Great". Lame.

Thats why im either muslim (where i get 70+ virgins :)) or im a satanist (where we have black masses etc etc)

 

 

EDIT: And who ever said God was a he? isnt God supposed to transcend sexuality?

It depends on how big your scope is. If a person's most "heavly desires" are as lowly as fatty foods and sex, well... That's interesting, to say the least, hehe.

 

Everyone sitting around going "God's great" even sounds lame to some Christians, or boring. However, that is because the concept of God is completely inconceivable, in its fullest. You have to understand that you cannot understand God, then all of a sudden his greatness becomes overwhelmingly phenomenal. And in that case, everyone saying "God's Great" becomes much more important, and potent.

 

The very fact that this is the Christian definition of heaven gives a small taste of how inconceivable the greatness of God must truly be. After all, if that wasn't the case, they would have used "free fatty foods, sex, etc." as the picture of heaven.

 

God must be truly Great.

I understand the concept of inability to understand God. There is at least a 50/50 chance that Heaven sucks.

 

God may or not be great. Hell might be a place where the naughty get to be naughty, and Heaven might be a place where everyone is forced to listen to God's boring old stories for all eternity. In which case, Hell is Heaven and Heaven is Hell. You cant know, so stop trying to pretend you can.

ok, let's think logically here.

 

The universe is finite.

Therefore...

God is finite.

Therefore...

God has finite powers

Therefore...

A burrito can in theory have more energy than god, and he could not eat it.

Unless...

God occupies more than half of the power and energy in the universe, therefore, the burrito cannot be too hot.

But...

If god occupied more than half the universe's energy - we'd be wondering where all the stuff it.

Therefore...

God may only make up a small percentage of the universe's energy

Therefore...

In theory, you could make a burrito so hot that he couldn't eat.

 

What the hell is a burrito anyway??

ok, let's think logically here.

 

The universe is finite.

Therefore...

God is finite.

 

...What the hell is a burrito anyway??

If we're thinking logically, then the first sentence of your entire argument nullifies everything that follows it. The whole point of the concept of a "God" is that he would be *super*natural, outside of the natural universe and greater than it, not constrained by its limitations that he created. Even the atheist/agnostics of this forum would agree with that.

 

When I lived in the UK for a year, nobody knew what a burrito was, LOL. It's Mexican food. Mexican food is as popular in the US as Indian food is popular in the UK.

Actually it is what you think is mexican food... burritos aren't called like that in Mexico, they're called tacos and aren't made of bran "tortilla" but with corn-made tortillas instead. And of course, they have really spicy "chile".

It is absolutely because God is required to be infinite, undetectable and non-respective of the universe's rules that precludes God as an important aspect of our lives. No conventional logic can define a God. God clearly can both microwave a burrito so hot that he cannot eat it and eat a burrito microwaved as hot as God can microwave.

God could microwave a burito to infinite heat, but he'd still beable to eat it because he is god, and nothing can affect him (even infinite heat)

Alright, so he can forget about the heat and eat the damn thing... but what if he chokes on it?

Oh my God! GOD'S DEAD!!!

QUICK, EVERYONE, PRAY TO THE LORD FOR OUR FORGIVENESS FOR MAKING HIM CHOKE ON A BURRITO THAT WAS TOO HOT ANYWAYS!!!

 

I DONT WANNA GO TO HELL!!!!!!!!
