Could God make a Santa hat so big that he himself could not wear it?

This question has sparked riots and arson in Bonghit, Arkansas, one of the southernmost cities in Pantera. The sheer magnitude of the question seems to have sent a few of the weaker-minded individuals into a riotous rage, with thousands more following their example.

The Lord Reaver was heard to comment,"I doubt he could, but then, I don't worship one coward God. I have many that probably could make one. A badass Santa hat with ram horns on it. Or maybe a sombrero..."

The Christian god... no.

Aegis-bearing Zeus... yes.

Actually, I have proven mathematically that he can. Oh, no wait, it was logically. See, as God is not a physical being, he cannot wear a material object at all, so any hat of any size is "too big." Also, he can't eat anything, so he could, essentially, make a burrito so hot he couldn't eat it. Thank you.

I have it from a reliable source that God is actually a middle aged Chinese gentleman who lives in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and while he is an avid hat wearer, he doesn't care for burritos anyway. Your Welcome.

Size is irrelevant to God. He prefers to be human-sized, but can change size if he wants to... mostly just for effect and symbolism.

I hope your... less brilliant citizens can cope with this question quickly and reach a unifying answer. We here in the Republic have abolished the "hat" for the very reason your country is in turmoil. Mass suicides resulted when a man went outside sporting a hat the size of a small car. Needless to say the man was arrested and the hat confiscated... but the damage had been done.

Anyways, good luck to you and your people Lord Reaver.

The Ravenspire Institute of Theological Study has conclusively determined that 42 angels could dance on the head of a pin.

However, most angels possess no sense of rhythm and rather poor balance, so the number who can dance on the head of a pin is very probably less than that.

Personal Statement from Premier Bomfy

Stop trying to put logic to religion, it cannot be done. I mean I could ask if there is supposed to be only one God, then where the f*ck did the Holy Trinity come from? Three gods... from one? What is that supposed to mean?

This is another example of the problems that religion causes in society. Eliminate religion, and you eliminate those corrput individuals that enforce their control... sorry, I mean "morality" on you.

Centrist Republic of AequatioYou sir, have been misinformed. Scripture never said there has only been one god. There are many gods, but the God of Abraham, our Eternal Heavenly Father, is the God of Gods, and highest above all of them. He is in the most High.

In recent days a tide of destruction and heresy have swept southern Pantera, and the debate and associated rioting that is now known as Cheese Gone Bad continues.

The Lord Reaver has gone so far as to ban hats that aren't made out of 'clean-ass purple velvet' as one passerby put it, sporting such material in the shape of a large glove.

Pantera is awash in turmoil and hat-induced hysteria, may the Gods help us all.
