Who created the universe that holds the god? God-god. And who create the universe that holds the god-god? God-god-god… and so it goes. This is an infinite but countable sequence. By analogy with rational versus irrational numbers, perhaps we can get to a universe with an uncountable depth of god-…-gods. That would be a fun thing to think about!
Of course God Man can create a rock so heavy He can’t lift it, but to make room for the darn thing, He’d have to get rid of Earth and all its dumb-ass philosophers!
Ruben has a big problem with God (man). He’s a frequent guest (target) in these comics. Will we someday read that TTDB has been discontinued because of a freak lightning strike suffered by Ruben?
It’s really God-Man from a year in the future after spending that year working out so he could lift the rock. He got the idea by watching the Doctor Who Christmas Special.
Epicurus and his writings are not popular with people who believe in supernatural divinity claims. Some notable examples of god believers’ disdain for Epicurus include:
Lactantius (c. 250-325 CE): A Christian apologist, Lactantius attributed a trilemma to Epicurus, questioning whether God is willing but unable to prevent evil, able but unwilling, or both able and willing. This critique has been influential in shaping the negative perception of Epicurus among god believers.Pierre Bayle (1647-1706 CE): A French philosopher and theologian, Bayle wrote extensively on Epicurus and his ideas, often criticizing them as atheistic and immoral. Bayle’s works helped to perpetuate the negative view of Epicurus among Christian thinkers.
William Lane Craig (1948-present): A Christian apologist and philosopher, Craig has written about Epicurus’ philosophy, criticizing its materialism and rejection of divine providence. Craig has argued that Epicurus’ views are incompatible with Christian theology and undermine the basis for moral laws and divine judgment.
In summary, god believers have historically disdained Epicurus due to his rejection of traditional notions of God, his emphasis on natural explanations, and his perceived implications for morality and faith. These criticisms have been echoed by various thinkers throughout history, contributing to Epicurus’ reputation as a philosopher whose ideas were at odds with religious orthodoxy.
If Euler is right, there are an infinity of Gods. But since he make the angels, there is a bigger infinity of them. And the ones who rebelled form an equally large infinity. He didn’t make the same mistake twice. We are finite and die like flies.
My favourite question along these lines, courtesy of bull-goose atheist Matt Dillahunty, is “Could God create a tamale so spicy that even he couldn’t eat it?”
In modern mythology, “God” is the summation of everything a person does not understand. This is why the God of the less intelligent can defeat the God of the more intelligent. The first God is bigger.

Of course he can create a stone he can’t lift. He wears it as a pinkie ring.
