Can God create a rock he can't lift?
Yeah that is what I was going to say, got created every rock on the earth, and I think people forget about all of natures storms etc... I would think that a tornado could lift a rock, and that tornado is just the imagination of God, so umm yeah he can lift a rock.

Can God create a rock he can't lift?
But doesn't the question illustrate how impossible God's omnipotence is?If he is all powerful he should be able to create a rock he can't lift; but then if he can't lift it he isn't all powerful...A tornado probably could lift a rock frenchinhale, but surely God could create a rock that no tornado could lift...

Can God create a rock he can't lift?
I agree with you that God doesn't exist, but us non-believers have the ability to think hypothetically, I hope. The question is meant to illustrate an atheist viewpoint, and naturally to start an argument (in the true sense of the word). As an atheist the question shouldn't be irrelevant to you, it's actually very useful in arguments with Christians and worth thinking about...

Also Reverend, you never actually gave your opinion on what the question means to you as a Christian...i.e does it at all make you doubt any aspect of your faith?

Why would a question make me doubt my faith? Another thing is you never asked for an opinion on the question you ask to answer the question which I did. I also as you can remember gave the remarks you would have made. Which you did not deny proving that, that was the remarks you would have made if someone just answered yes or no. Question for you:
Why don't you believe in God?
