Heard a rather profound riddle yesterday on the Simpsons of all places. It was:
Could Jesus microwave a burrito that was so hot that He couldn’t eat it?
Wow. I mean doesn’t this logically disprove the existence of an omnipotent being? If He could do anything then He could eat any burrito, no matter how hot. But if that is true then the answer to the question would be no, He could not microwave a burrito too hot for Him to eat. Hence he cannot do anything and is therefore not omnipotent. Not that faith and logic have ever had much influence over each other, but this seems to be a direct clash between the two. I would love any logical refutation to this. Should anyone have one please comment it in here.
The problem is not with God. The problem is that human logic is flawed because we are not omniscient beings and therefore there exist some things that defy the ability of the human mind to reconcile.
