Can the omnipotent God create a stone which he(she?) him(her?)self Cannot carry?
(Note: blasphemy added by levik. Disregard if offensive)
I am catholic so I DO believe in God. But the only reason this paradox was created was to prove that god is not a "person" or "force" that has an actual impact on the world. God doesn't have free will, god didn't create adam and eve (evolution took place) and god does not actually exist (as people perceive him to). I believe that God is used to describe a phase that brought about our existence. For, instance, god could merely be another term for "big Bang" or even something as general as "Anything that exists, including nothing"(Dependant on whether or not nothing exists(Hard to explain)) In other words, god does NOT have an impact on our world, he doesn't do things or make someone win or magically heal people.
in the end (since i know some catholics might be reading this) we have ask ourselves this. is it possible that the new testament was written as a book? Is it possible that Jesus was an extremely wise sage that fooled people into thiniing he healed and just wanted the world to become a better place in the future.
Our generation laughed at the concept of "magic" and "spiritualism" but is our belief in jesus still believing such things can exist?
