Re: Can God create a stone
Dear Vaishnavas,
Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna! I remember this one very well. One atheist asked me this question years back. To tell the truth, the Lord is so omnipotent that he can create a stone and simultaneously lift it and not lift it at the same time and same place. They try to challenge us with baffling questions, but they get baffled by the answer which is beyond their power of understanding. Ultimately can or cannot is decided by him. When he decides to be little Krishna he struggles to carry a pot of butter and simultaneously he also carries the unlimited universes on his head. He is the source of all sources, the cause of all causes. So ultimately even the ability to do or not to do also comes from Him and He is not dependent on it. When all logic comes from Him, how can one bind Him by it? Atheists' cheeky questions must be given equally sharp replies to turn their game back on them.
Daaso'smi,
Srinath
