Whether existent notions of god are logically consistent or not does not directly point to whether some notion of god can be logically consistent or not.
However, I think a logically consistent notion of god would be more lacking in power to overawe yokels, because I think part of the power of the concept of god lies in the fact that it creates in the head of yokels a nagging suspicion that god can transcend any deduction or constraint whether physical or logical, so it is better to prostrate oneself before it rather than attempt to accommodate it by figuring it out.
So the existent notions of god are logically inconsistent not because the notion of god can not be logically consistent, but because the reason why the notion of god is perpetuated in the first place - to control, dominate and exploit yokels - would not be as well served with a logically consistent notion of god than with an logically inconsistent one.
