Or: Can god create a stone so heavy he cant lift it? If yes, he is not all-powerfull. If no, he is not all-powerfull too.

Got me stuck in the bottom loop

Edit: didn't know this would blow up. I was thinking, if there is something god can't make himself than that would be greater than god, right?

So what if that thing is people loving god back? If love for him is the only thing god can't make it's still a win since the only thing greater than him is something in honour of him

Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.

Marcus Aurelius
