> Be taken by suprise. Or learn anything new. These are things he can't do, which means he isn't omnipotant. If he is omnipotant then he can't be omnicient because only then he could be suprised. So you have to decide which is more important to your veiw of God, the knowledge or the power?
There are several riddles that play with words like this. Can God create a rock so big, he can't push it up a hill? is another one. My attitude toward these paradoxes? So what? Personally, I believe in simultaneous truth of "God can create a rock so big, he can't push it up a hill" *and* "God can push any rock up a hill," whether that breaks the bounds of petty human logic or not. But I wouldn't argue the issue. It's a worthless, useless, purposeless debate that accomplishes exactly nothing for anyone, no matter what is ultimately decided.
We started this thread discussing something real: what love is, and who has the ability to exhibit it. That's a real issue that matters. Now we're diddling with useless riddles and snappy one-liners you're throwing out as monkeywrenches. You certainly seem irrationally insistent on fighting however you conceivably can.
