traditionally people ask if God could make a rock so big he couldn't pick it up. but I'd like to know could he make a stack of pancakes. so tall he couldn't eat it and would there be any matter and energy in the universe left over from trying.

I propose we put both God and the pancakes in a box with a isotope that may or may not trigger a switch to initiate the microwaves. After n minutes, we get the answer yes and no until we open the box and collapse the probability wave. And then have delicious pancakes, since God doesn't exist.

Oh, and Schroedinger needs to be banned from the Humane Society... just sayin'.

Mmmmmm. Pancakes. Hold on, I'll be back in a bit.

But seriously now, does that mean there might be some leftovers? 😀

it's certainly possible, but there are no guarantees.

It’s all such a waste of time and energy...do people really wonder about these things? How boring their lives must be,

more exciting than a stampeding herd of turtles.

Can I have blueberry pancakes and a side of breakfast sausage?

as long as you like them round.

Well that would be assuming that something would actually want to eat that many pancakes to begin with. Why not French Toast? It is so much better in every way! That would be a question I could get behind. Lol jk

But, more importantly perhaps, does God really rock? Are Elvis, Chuck Berry, and Jerry Lee Lewis evidence that he does? Is Elvis God or Is it Clapton or both or neither? Did Elvis go to heaven, hell or neither? Does heaven Rock? Does hell really roll? If so it would downhill i suppose. How much did Jesus weigh? If, as the Beatles said, that they were bigger than Jesus and given that they were greater than the sum of their parts, how big exactly was Jesus? My calculations conclude that he could be no bigger than 500 lbs max. Perhaps less because most of the Beatles were pretty skinny. Paul would be the exception to that, he apparently overate to fill the void and because he could afford all the best foods. In any case, all we really know for certain was that he was smaller than the Beatles, so that's not much to go on. Some beetles are quite small however, weighing in at less than a gram dry weight, so really that's not much to go on.

I always saw god as a waffle man.

But then again I have major theological differances with these god fellows, so that may explain alot.

waffles is the next Universe over. ✌️

@hankster explains why I feel so out of place in this one.

Thanks

Does this include butter and maple syrup?

like a hot dog eating contest, that stuffs up to the contestant.

2

well, he could cheat and hire me to finish the pancakes. but then he'd have to condemn me or something. wait, which god is this anyway? prometheus, technically not a god but a deity of sorts, was cool, but i don't think he was into pancakes. his brother was under a big rock though.

g

it's an open contest. and yes any help from you or others result in the disqualification of god.

@hankster I would have thought his failure to exist would disqualify him.

g

@genessa can't be disqualified unless you break the rules

@hankster Isn't pretending to exist a form of cheating, and isn't cheating against the rules?

g

@genessa lol.... pretense to existence would certainly be some kind of infraction, though finding the transgressor might be pretty tricky.

@hankster as the wicked witch of the west once warbled, pardon alliteration, "these things must be handled DEHHHHlicately!"

g

@genessa and there's lots of paperwork 😋

@hankster and the paperwork kills trees and that makes the druids feel so blue.

g

@genessa 😫

Mmmmhmmmm
Pancakes.

exactly, the center of Temptation.

Real maple syrup? Or just one of those cheap-ass knock offs? Dammit now I'm hungry.😣

he she it can handle only those itty bitty pancakes

silver dollar pancakes.... always comes down to the money. 😉

Mmmmm, sacred pancakes.

"HE"?

doesn't matter. you can pick whatever pronoun you prefer i suppose.

IHOP often has unlimited pancakes....I think I saw Jesus eating at my local IHOP.

should have got an autograph. 😯

We took a selfie together....@hankster

I used to concern myself with things like this when I was a very young man. Today I don't even waste my time. Which god?

1

That is a sticky paradox.

Very, very tired of these incessant posts that require me to ASSume gawd has reality in some way in order to discuss them. This one at least has humor!

then don't. just move on.

If god doesn't exist, there is no limit on what you can imagine god can do. Non existent things & imagination have no limits. That's how fiction is written

I agree muchly, but man's attributions to god seems so comprehensive that it is more fun to take them away.😁

@hankster If you subtract something from nothing, you still get nothing, unless you want to fo into negative numbers, which are greater degrees of nothing

@Remiforce firstly, I want to be sure everyone understands this is just for giggles. but actually because mankind attributed to god any particular attribute does not rule out the possibility that god already had it.....

@hankster This is assuming god exists. If something doesn't exist, it doesn't have attributes, except in people's imaginations

@Remiforce assuming we haven't removed the attributes of existence and "lil g" didn't already have it. but you bring up an interesting question... in terms of man's behavioral relationship to god, is there any difference in the real thing and the imagined one? for the believer of course.

@hankster You seem to be assuming there is a "real thing" but assuming there is such a thing with god, there is no necessary relationship between the attributes of this thing & man's imagining of them

@Remiforce I'm not assuming there is, just accounting for the possibilty. Also im trying to say that a believers behavior would follow either. making the difference between them rather insignificant. so playing with belief we can recreate the world kinda. just funning around. don't take it too seriously. 😉

God doesn't eat. He's a spirit. But if a spirit can impregnate a woman I suppose they can do anything.

lol.. that's nuts..a spirit that don't eat pancakes.

Can God microwave a burrito so hot that he cannot eat it?
Homer Simpson

I'm going to have to say yes.
