If so, why?
Not really. By "there's a god in all of us", I mean we are in control of our lives, and we don't necessarily need anyone, especially god/gods to do things for us, nor do we need to rely on god/gods to make something of ourselves. It was more of a metaphor than something literal.
That said, omnipotence is pretty much a paradox, and thus is something that cannot exist. I mean, being everything at once as well as nothing is paradoxical, is it not? There could be other things I am missing, but as far as I know, limits exist for a reason. I don't think anything can be omnipotent. I'd be wrong if I meant that there is a "god inside all of us", we'd be omnipotent. Even then, we are only human, and being omnipotent would make everything too easy for us, and with that, we probably would not really be human.
