    It's pretty clear in the Bible that you were created to worship God so your fate has been sealed since day one as far as that book is concerned. Christians get real sensitive when you start asking about the specifics of all the omnis (omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent) because they necessitate some unfriendly truths like "God created original sin intentionally" and "how the fuck do you die and go to hell as gods equally omni son?" "CAN God create a fart so big that even HIS butthole can't fart it??"

      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!
