can god create a rock so heavy, that he himself can not lift it up anymore?

if he can't, he is not omnipotent.
if he can, he can't lift it and therefore is not omnipotent again :D
Common logical fallacy. Religious scholars of all stripes will argue that not even a God can create contradictions. It is therefore impossible for a God to create such things as:

Unliftable objects
An object both taller and shorter than some height
Unstoppable forces and immovable objects

It does no harm to the omnipotence of a god to be unable to create things that can't exist without being self contradictory and therefore logically impossible.

Classic Mr. T/Chuck Norris joke.

Here's mine. If god is so infinitely forgiving and good, whats the purpose of hell?

Better question! Why does god need to wait to destroy the devil if he's going to do it anyway? and if he knows everyhting, why didnt he kill the devil when the devil first tried that coup.

yeah, i'm probably going to hell, but i'm getting answers hwerever i go.

Your trapped in a room with Justin Beiber, Miley Cirus, both are having a karaoke contest, and you have only one bullet in your revolver. What to do?
I believe it's pronounced... "menage a trois?"
you obviously line both their heads up up and pull the trigger. place the one you hate less (for me, its miley cyrus, simply becuase i want to watch her make her career implode, like when she was pole dancing on that ice cream cart in stripper gear.

I have a logic question for you folks.

A teacher ... well teaches how to be a lawyer to a student 100% free of charge. The teacher says though "This will only be free if you don't win your first case."

The student agrees and is like lawl, i just won't take any cases.

So after a while the teacher is like wtf mate and sues the student.

Before the first court date the teacher and the student meet each other and get in a discussion. The student says to the teacher "If i win, by law i don't have to pay cause i won the court battle. And if i lose i don't have to pay because i lost my first case!"

The teacher responds with "If I win then you have to pay me, because the court says so. But if i lose then you have to uphold your agreement because you won your first case."

Now... who is right?

Does it matter? Is there any solid evidence if there is this "God" an all powerful being, watching everyone everyday, and if they break his rules they will be sentenced to eternal damnation, but he loves you.

I'm not saying that he isn't here, but it all sounds improbable. But my point remains, if there is no God, any question involving him is immediately set to "He lost"
Never said in the rules you couldnt ask about god.

I think they have the same inertia(which is infinite), so the unmovable object starts moving at the same speed as the unstoppable force, and in the same direction. Meanwhile, the unstoppable force stops.

For visual aids, use pool balls hitting.
