It would appear that God is bound by logic. He cannot do things that are logically impossible (assuming our understanding of logic and the assumptions we make about it are correct). For example, God cannot create a married bachelor. He can't make a rock so heavy that he can't lift it.
So did God make logic? Could God have made it so that you can have contradictions in reality?
Did God effectively cap his own powers by defining laws of logic? Or is logic something independent from God, making it the ultimate arbiter?
If instead you insist God is not bound by logic, you are forced to address how he can make a rock he can't lift, and so on.
Most theist believe God did not create the laws of logic. They are a grounded in his nature. It is how God's mind works. No two horns of a dilemma.
