Somebody brought this most stupid, circular logic question - If there is an omnipotent God/Goddess, can He/She create something that He/She cannot break. If not that He/She is not omnipotent and hence cannot be called God/Goddess. You would find this kind of farcical questions parading around as intellectualism in certain circles..and reducing the breadth of human experience to few sentences of circular logic... That story is for another day...
But think of it, is there something God created that is so beautiful in itself that even He would not /could not break..
I believe it is called " Free Will" . It is the one thing that Humans can boast of. It is one thing that can be created in human beings and once created well, it can withstand even God, according to legends.
It is true that most of the times we only believe, we are acting out of free will. While in reality we are controlled by a number of forces - upbringing, social media, marketing, financial forces, and so on. Most of our decisions get influenced because of these. Yet, free will can be nurtured. It is the stuff of heroism. It is the epitome of what a human can be. Remember - Rocky movies ! Greek legends of Titans, Hercules, Arjuna of Bhagvad Gita, Bhagiratha who brought Ganges onto Earth.
In the process of a human being becoming aware of himself/herself, then making conscious choices, being tested on them, developing the will to stand up for the choices, maturing from brashness to sensitive... this is the evolution of a single human being. In itself so beautiful and amazing that I am sure God would want to witness it rather than interfere in it! In fact He/She would have ensured they created it in a way that they wouldnt be able to interfere even if they wanted !
Note - The reference to God/ Goddesss is to only make the point about Will. Beliefs about God, theology about God/Goddess is very wide and the above post uses only the most superficial one about being ominpotent to make its point.
