God is a concept a thought,a feeling. A person's belief shapes who God is and what he can do. I once asked a priest this question. It is said that God can do anything and all things. The priest said this is true. So, I replied how do you interpret this question. If God can do anything can He build a boulder so heavy that even he could not pick it up? The priest took umbrage at my question. He misunderstood my intent. He regained his composure and then suggested the question was cheap trickery.
I had always believed that such a statement about God can be constructed because humans think too often in linear terms or because we think of events in a dichotomy. Essentially like every person ever born I too have struggled with this concept of God. I have come to a compromise with myself that i will never know the truth while my heart beats. If God exists he knows my heart and if he knows my heart and He does exist then my future is in his safe hands
PS Anyone interested in explaining the boulder puzzle?
