Can God make a burrito so hot even he can't eat it?
I'm being serious here, has any theologian covered the possibility of an omnipotent and all-powerful god making something that he is too weak to handle.

God does not do human things
God doesn't heat burritos so hot
He doesn't eat it and he doesn't too weak to handle. He might but he doesn't.

Yes. Here's your answer.

The question is flawed from the outset, god is omnipotent and what you're basically asking is "Can god make himself fail" which obviously an omnipotent and perfect being couldn't possibly do. The fact that he cannot do it isn't a flaw in his omnipotence, it's just another manifestation of it because it means he's infallible- he cannot fail. He could make a burrito of infinite heat and still eat it perfectly fine, because he's just that fucking perfect.

Or to look at it from another perspective, Augustine would say that evil is a privation of good in an otherwise good creation (well he stole it from Aristotle, but whatevs). Thus if god were to create a burrito that burns him it would be an evil burrito, which is impossible because god and everything he creates is perfect and a burrito has no free will thus its perfection is immutable and infinite.

So no, god cannot create an evil burrito.

You know come to think of it no one has ever questioned the idea of an omnipotent god or any contradictions such a being would imply.


No i think you are the first person to ever consider the implications of infinity. Congratulations OP you are clearly a genius.

I read his argument on God's existence but what I basically got was the latter half of >>5544948

:3

>>5545030
he made 5 different arguments but none of those remind "the latter half of >>5544948", 3 are related to infinite regress and therefore 1st clause, 1 is about degrees of perfection and their supposed pinnacle and 1 is that since the universe follows some physical laws it must be designed to do so

This question is over a thousand years old. If you were to ask this to some scholar in the Middle Ages, they'd be able to give you like fifty citations and their preferred theologian's ironclad response offhand. It even has its own Wikipedia article, which of course includes a chronological overview and bibliography of the discourse: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omnipotence_paradox

Every time someone asks /lit/ a basic philosophical question like 'how is suchandsuch reconcilable with free will', one that has been asked a billion fucking times, instead of actually talking about or recommending the LITERATURE on the subject, people mostly just give their own intuitive answer. Like it's a spitball session. It's really weird to watch.
