If God can do everything, can He create a stone which He Himself cannot roll?

I myself believe that when G-d created mankind, He willingly gave up some of His power to create human free will, the will He cannot control and the rock He cannot roll.

5 Susan 05.18.08 at 11:48 am: There is no God at all. God is an illusion, a man made creation. However, I would be open to an all nighty Goddess.

And don’t worry: God doesn’t care if you believe in Him or not.
