Time for a
confession! Over the last few weeks, dear reader, I’ve been racking my brain
to find an adequate response to that most intriguing scholastic paradox whether
Almighty God can make a stone so heavy that He cannot lift it Himself. And –
believe it or not - I give up. Yes, I must admit it! I bow my head to the
inevitable! There are in this sorry world logical enigmas in the face of which
even the near omniscience of Alfred B. Mittington stands helpless! So I fear
you will have to content yourselves with the following Cool Answers to these
Burning (Theological) Questions:
Q: How many
angels can you make dance on a pin?
A: If you turn
the sharp end up, I assure you that each and every angel you put on top of
there will dance.
Q: Does God ever
play dice with the world?
A: Yes. But when
He does He cheats a little. He throws dice loaded with meaning.
Q: What was God
doing before he created a special inferno for the inquisitive?
A: He was
probably playing Divine Doctor with Sophia from next door.
[PS Those of you
who grasp all three of the above Cool Answers are kindly invited to make
suggestions as to the solution to the ‘Stone Paradox’. Both of you, that is… ]
