Why?
Why Not?

Profound Speculation for September 1998

The yin-yang of logic. We say "All generalizations are incorrect", itself a generalization. Or "Everything in moderation, including moderation." Good, but not especially helpful. Absolute beliefs, pushed to their limits, generate contradictions. You get the idea.
             Does God have limits? I hope so. Hate to think s/he could make our lives easier, but doesn't. Seems meanspirited. We can't put ourselves in God's shoes. Death tragic to us, matters not to a God who knows what happens afterwards. Some see life's tribulations as heaven's entrance examination, but were we to live without damaging each other, eternal life remains a possibility. Were God to punish us for peace on earth, something is wrong with God, not us.
             Back to the question. Can God create a rock so large s/he can't move it? I vote "No".
