Why is it not *possible* for God to have those properties? or are you assuming God has *other* properties that contradict those? Which is exactly my point: you have to pick and choose which properties you are wanting in a deity in order to show they are mutually consistent.
And *than* you* have to show a common maximum for all of the ones you choose it possible.
I know definitions are hard for a lot of atheists. To repeat myself, bravery requires fear. We can REASON that an eternal, omnipotent and omniscient being does not fear. See, no "picking and choosing involved"--all reasoning and logic. This is not rocket science.
Which means that this deity cannot be maximal for this property, even though it is a good property.
But, you have not actually said *why* a deity cannot experience fear. For example, did Jesus ever experience fear? Why or why not?
