Not just from the Quran, but from many other sources and biographical information which many of you will reject as apologetic bullshit and/or fantasies.

No, because an omnipotent god would not be able to do things which are logically impossible. Aside from that, I think that God merely seems to be limited in his power because He is an all-powerful being who is interacting with a limited world, and with limited minds, and that's why His power goes down to the level of appearing to be limited (from our own perspective). Therefore, I believe that it's it's a matter of perspective, and we cannot ever realize God's full potential as an "all-powerful" being (or what that even means).

The fact that I did not mention those does not mean that I am biased on Muhammad (since you don't know whether or not you're being biased in your own list either). Plus, there may be 50 other options and that's why I chose the main 3. Your list is an addition to mines. Nevertheless, people can believe whatever they think is the best explanation of Muhammad's life.

Oh, now I get it. I wasn't making the distinction between secular morality vs. religious morality.
I thought you and tackattack agreed with her post because she has turned you guys into her "mindslaves" with her Galactic Empress-ness (or maybe you already are)?
