    For those unaware, the original theological question is

    Can God create a rock so large he cannot lift it?

    The answer, and I’m not shitting you, is

    Yes. God can make a boulder so large he cannot lift it. And then he can lift it anyway.

      The other answer is “he’s not omnipotent, he’s maximally powerful.” Like they claim he can’t do anything that is contradictory. Despite the Bible being full of contradictions.

      He makes it so he temporarily cannot lift it, then restores his previous strength afterward so he can. They should have specified an infinite timeframe!
