The term omnipotent has been used to connote a number of different positions. These positions include, but are not limited to, the following:
The rest of your points are more of the same. You need to show that God either did not has sufficient reasons for his actions or that he was obliged to follow some sort of law/code (and where did this law come from) and failed to do so.
- A deity is able to do anything that it chooses to do.[1]
- A deity is able to do anything that is in accord with its own nature (thus, for instance, if it is a logical consequence of a deity's nature that what it speaks is truth, then it is not able to lie).
- Hold that it is part of a deity's nature to be consistent and that it would be inconsistent for said deity to go against its own laws unless there was a reason to do so.[2]
- A deity can bring about any state of affairs which is logically possible for anyone to bring about in that situation.
- A deity is able to do anything that corresponds with its omniscience and therefore with its worldplan.
- Every action performed in the world is 'actually' being performed by the deity, either due to omni-immanence, or because all actions must be 'supported' or 'permitted' by the deity.
Nope, sorry, just more elaborate gibberish. All you are arguing is "You wouldn't understand", "God works in mysterious ways", "God can do what he wants" "God doesn't have to explain himself to you". Those are not evidences, those are your childish excuses to make shit up to cling to the idea of a sky hero because you like the idea.
Our laws are from western secular law, not fictional beings, I don't need permission from a fictional god anymore than I need permission from Yoda.
Because you don't understand does not mean that is my argument. Again, you need to show that God either did not has sufficient reasons for his actions or that he was obliged to follow some sort of law/code (and where did this law come from) and failed to do so. If there is a God, then there is no logical problem whatsoever to what I am arguing.
