The Omnipotent Paradox
Ok , I'll admit it .. I am damn lazy to type much today .... so I'll make it short.

I was reading up articles in wikipedia as usual and I came up with one really cool one. It is called the Omnipotent Paradox (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omnipotence_paradox ).

The basic idea behind this paradox is :

a) God is omnipotent ...
b) Means : he can do pretty much anything , right ? No limits for him ... if there are any limits then it is meaningless to say that god is omnipotent
c) so the question here is ... can God create a stone so heavy that even he cannot lift ?

If ..

a) God can create the stone and it is too heavy for him to lift, then god cannot be omnipotent
b) If God can't create something that even he cannot lift that means there is something god cannot do ... which makes him/her not omnipotent.

Gets your brain working doesn't it ?
