The sooner atheists drop the "Can God create a rock so heavy he cannot lift it?" argument, the better. It doesn't work as a paradox; never did. Paradoxes that are built off of logical fallacies are easily torn apart.
Arguing against omnipotence isn't a walk in the park; you first need to actually define what omnipotence is, and that itself is a hard thing given that different religions have different types. Full blown omnipotence (i.e. a being has the ability to do absolutely everything, even the impossible) does cause many paradoxes, but I don't know of any religions that actually have Gods which claim this kind.
What is more of a problem for some religions is the combination of certain "omni" properties, like the well-known Omnipotence / Omniscience paradoxes.
