Does God exist: A hopefully civil and fruitful debate

Okay, then how heavy is the limit of a rock that God can lift, if not infinity?

By defining the object as "so heavy it cannot be lifted", the argument is already loaded inside it a condition that the defender has no choice but to accept. Can such a thing exist in as much as reason can make sense of it? Can I ask then "Can God make purple run fast?" and expect it to make sense? Purple does not run, let alone fast. A "rock that cannot be lifted with infinite strength" is an inherently flawed definition.
