The Reason Why God Cannot Exist

This is the reason why God cannot exist....


Question: Can God heat up a burrito so hot that even he cannot bear to eat it?



That's all, that's the answer to whether or not God can exist. The answer is no.

ah The Simpsons...but you should probably note this a pop-culture reference and not an original philosophical argument.



Possible (imperfect) responses:

+God doesn't necessarily need to be Omnipotent...that is just a Western conception
+God isn't anthropomorphic so this question doesn't apply
+God could lift a boulder that is too heavy to lift (or eat a buritto that is too hot to eat) by making it not as heavy...

Oh, let's see... yes that's where it came from. You'd be surprized what they come up with.

The point of the question was to explain that absolutes rarely if ever exist. Absolute power, absolute knowledge, or in my opinion absolute deity.

And whose to say if one god or another does exist whether or not he/she/it is anthropomorphic. I'm sure if most gods we worship (by doctrine alone) have some capability to take human form.

And yes he could cool the burrito off, but that distracts from the argument made by the question. That there cannot be an all-powerful, omnipotent overlord, there are just simply too many impossible absolutes created.

But, if that argument isn't suitable let's give a second...

If God is the Creator then he is like our father. He is also the creator of concepts like good and just and thereby has the capibility to be completely good and just himself. Then we are given free will, as I would think God himself would have too. Why then did God create Satan? He would've known already that Satan would betray him. But more so, how could Satan betray him if there was no force in existance to tempt him to betray God? I'm quite sure that that Bible believes that Satan did this of his own accord. But it seems to me impossible.

A Thought

Simple people see things in simple ways with simple solutions. Complex people see things in complex ways and with complex solutions. Neither are inherently wrong or right. They just are.

My Own Mind

The human mind is a duality.  That is to say, there are two people inside most people's heads.  It is the interaction of these two entities that determines who you are.   The first is the sum total of all of your experiences, it is a body of knowledge that you reflect on when thinking or meditating.  It is not the consciousness that we traditionally think of as our mind.  It's behind that.  It's the voice that alters your mood, makes irrational fears float to the surface in times of stress, and ultimately has a significant impact on you as a person.   The second is your consciousness.  It is the core of you as a person.  It is the voice you hear in your head when thinking or reading this sentence.  Some do not have that voice, incidentally.  For instance, those that are born deaf often have that "voice" represent as images.  Others simply don't have it.  This voice is the real you.  It's the part that you in...

My Favorite / My Least Favorite

My favorite color is green because it is the color of new life. I enjoy food, granted I used to enjoy a greater variety, nevertheless it is one of my favorite things. Bad food is the sign of a bad day. So, DC food... Haha! I love music. But not all music. Primarily rock, classic hard rock, and classic metal. Of course, there are exceptions. My favorite song/performance of all time is Queen's "Somebody to Love" from On Fire Live at the Bowl (1982). It's just a profound performance and an even more phenomenal back story. I've pasted a copy of it below. Feeling is what matters to me in music. It's hard to explain but the song, performance, or artist has to have feeling. It has to embrace you. You have to be able to sink into it. It has to make your skin crawl. It has to be almost sexual. That kind of connection. A primitive, almost supranatural closeness. My favorite TV show is The Simpsons singularly because of the inclusivity and profoundly lib...
