We are all limited to the laws of logic that we know. Everything that defies (sp?) that is beyhond (sp?) our comprehension (sp?). And God is beyhond our comprehension. (Sorry for all spelling mistakes [sp]) ---

When you combine the original question: **Could God Make a Rock so Big He Couldn’t Pick it Up.** with the OP’s version, it immediately suggested to me something that manages to be offensive on many levels at the same time: **Could God Make a Chick so Hot Even He Couldn’t Pick Her Up?** ---

God can eat a burrito of any size, but that doesn’t mean he won’t burn his mouth if it is reheated in the Heavenly Microwave. Just that I would get that in before this zombie is killed. ---

If you assume that Jesus was God, I’m sure that there could have been a burrito that would’ve been too big for Him to eat. Maybe he just would’ve broken it up and fed five or six thousand people. ---

> [@Mangetout](#): > > I have heard it taught that of the set of real things that are not logically impossible, there is nothing that God cannot do (cannot, not necessarily _will not_). This is very good point, the only problem is that there is no way for man to know what is possible or impossible. ---

The Universe IS a burrito…what do you think that cosmic background radiation is all about? It’s from the Big Bang, when the burrito exploded in the microwave… However, I think God would prefer a Freebird burrito instead.
