Can God microwave a burrito so hot that he himself could not eat it?

The answer is that God can indeed create a burrito so hot that he could not eat it…at that moment in time. But God also has the ability to transcend himself instantly so that he could now eat the burrito. At this new level, God could then create another burrito which he could not eat at that level. He could then transcend himself again and eat the burrito, create a new one, etc.

Why are both the concepts of Heaven and Hell terrifying?

Hell is eternal torture, etc, yet the concept of a perfect heaven requires the loss of free will, meaning that we ourselves as we are now never get to go to heaven, meaning, in theory, that if Heaven, God, etc. exist, then dying for a Christian is essentially giving up what makes one human, meaning death really is the end whatever way you look at it.

Let me direct you my older thread http://www.forumwarz.com/discussions/view/18567

Muslims generally view Jesus and the Virgin Mary in a positive light. Why do they hate Christians so much?

Wow where do I start. We kicked their bumes during the Crusades. We dis their prophet Muhammad all the time. We are good friends with Israel, their mortal enemy. Particularly the Dome of the Rock issue.

The Bible also said some bad words about Arabs (descendants of Ishmael). Obviously they are bumhurt hahaha.

I missed a question earlier, I’ll address it now

What makes your (2) to draco different from the overall Euthyphro dilemma?

How can we have free will with an omniscient creator of everything? Given that biblegod is “defined” as such, it is clearly impossible to have free will. I know, I know: apologists always forget one or the other (omniscient/creator of everything) in the reply. I saw it way too many times when I posted in alt.atheism (way back when—I was even there for the great rec.org.mensa flamewar of ‘97).

Cool you’re already internet debating back when I was still learning multiplication table…

I’m rather scared to take you on but will try.

We do have free will, and God is omniscient. So you’re saying that if God can know what would we do in advance, that effectively means no free will? Predestination much? Not really. Just because He knows what I’m going to choose does not mean I do not have the power to choose. So to use a parable…

I offer you a green ball and a red ball. You may choose either one. I know in advance that you will of choose green because you like the colour green.

An alternative situation. I know that you already have a green ball at home and I know that you know that I told a buddy that you will definitely pick the green ball. I know that you would pick the red ball instead because I know you hate me. In both examples you still have the choice to pick either green or red ball though, I just know what you were going to pick.

Conclusion is, omniscience doesn’t destroy your free will.
