Of course, most theists also believe in a little something called free will, whereby god cannot intervene in such a way.
You could perceive that the square root of two is rational, but that would just be god lying to you. I'm concerned with actual truth, not perceptions of what's true.
If god were to be audited by his superiors (this is a joke, by the way), he would have to admit that the square root of two is irrational and he was merely being deceptive.
My question is targeted at my fellow atheists, and concerned with how atheists envision a hypothetical god to be.
I couldn't care less how theists imagine their god to be, because many of their ideas about their hypothetical god are obviously wrong.
My issue is I don't think a truly omnipotent god can exist.
So if I woke up to learn that god is real, I'd be very confident that he is not fully, truly omnipotent. I'd still cling to my sense of what's logically possible or impossible.
