I like George Carlin's version: "If God is all powerful, can he make a rock so big that he himself can't lift it?"
Weird attribution, man :) That one, and a lot of others like it, come all the way from the 12th Century and thereabouts. Carlin’s influence is awesome and deserved, but I don’t think it stretches that far :)
"Can God microwave a burrito so hot that he himself cannot eat it?"
"All of the "is infinite power so powerful that it could overpower its own power" type questions just annoy me.
Is infinite power so powerful it can do something that it can't do?
Yes it can. And then it can do that anyway. Otherwise it wouldn't be infinite."
So you're saying he would wait for it to cool down before eating it?
It's a copy pasta from another thread, just like the comment I replied to.
