I was thinking about stupid questions the other day and i kinda came up with answers in my head that i thought I’d share.

could God create something so heavy that He couldn’t lift it?

This question kinda cracks me up. It sounds like a question that someone on pot would create. Nevertheless, the answer is no. But that “no” is really made up of a “yes” and a “no” and it requires a bit of explanation. First, God can create something that is infinitely heavy. I believe that God created the universe and everything in it, and I don’t see any reason why He would be limited on weight. However, I also believe that God is omnipotent. So there is nothing that is too heavy for Him. So it is a battle of infinites. God can create something infinitely heavy, but He would always be able to lift it.

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around, does it still make a sound?

Don’t trees generally make a sound if they fall when people are around? Why would it make a difference if anyone was around to hear it? Whatever… next question.

what is the sound of one hand clapping?

Did you know that if you try really hard, you can clap with one hand? I can clap one hand together, I can also smack my hand on my knee or stomach and make a clapping noise. Whoever thought of this question is stupid.

So there you have it. There are no stupid questions, just the ones above.
