"Classical theists hold that God is omnipotent. But now suppose a critical atheologian
were to ask: Can God create a stone so heavy that even he cannot lift it? This is
the dilemma of the stone paradox. God either can or cannot create such a stone. Suppose
that God can create it. Then there's something he cannot do – namely, lift the stone.
Suppose that God cannot create the stone. Then, again, there's something he cannot
do – namely, create it. Either way, God cannot be omnipotent. Among the variety of
known theological paradoxes, the paradox of the stone is especially troubling because
of its logical purity. It purports to show that one cannot believe in both God and
the laws of logic. In the face of the stone paradox, how should the contemporary analytic
theist respond? Ought they to revise their belief in theology or their belief in logic?
Ought they to lose their religion or lose their mind?"
