Does God exist: A hopefully civil and fruitful debate

I'm not the one who said he wasn't sure if god existed or not. I don't believe in god at all


I don't see how you're having trouble with the concept. It seems pretty easy to me. You would have to use the mathematics definition of infinity to describe the paradox. I just don't know how that doesn't make sense to you. Being all-powerful, can he count to infinity? Can he walk around in a circle until he finds the end of it? Can he purple until he dies of cabinet? Can he defeat Chuck Norris? (last 2 were jokes btw)

Because you're already assuming the answer in the question. I'll point it out: The rock gets heavier approaching the point of god being unable to lift it until it becomes so heavy that he can't.

This sentence assumes a few things, but let's get right to the meat of the matter:

1. It assumes that such a thing has the property of existence.
2. It assumes that there is a point that God cannot lift.

"Have you stopped being a douche?" cannot be answered in such a way that contradicts the assumption that the person has in fact been a douche. The normal response is to correct the questioner: "I have not been a douche." and not give an answer. The same applies here.

We're trying to define God using reason, so omnipotence works on everything that is sensibly imaginable and none otherwise. I might have neglected to point out, but language is hardly rational. Something like "Can he do X" sounds nice because it starts with "Can he", implying--linguistically--an ability or lack thereof. Rationally, there is no ability concerning objects that don't even make sense from the start.
