My assertion is equal to yours, GC. You should know that basic rule by now.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

 You almost got it right, Christians understand that God can do all He pleases and we understand there are those things God will not do, can't do whatever you want to call it, because it doesn't please Him.

So basically you don't have an answer to Magillas post and I'm guessing have avoided the god/rock thing your entire life.

No, Magillas answered that himself, it's not a logical question, it's outside reality. Exactly why would it please God to make a rock so large He couldn't lift it? Things like this have nothing to do with who God is for mankind and are meaningless to debate, I would tell any Christian the same thing.

So God only does things that please him?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

If it does not please god to stop children from being raped, then that is not a god worthy of worship.

Plain and simple.

Will not and cannot are NOT synonyms. They have different meanings. Will means you have a desire to do something, can means you have the ability to do something. They can't simply be interchanged whenever you want. Seriously, your butchering of the English language to try and make your points workable was funny at first. But now it's half sad, and half annoying.
