What claim, please quote the post and embolden it.

It's impossible to imagine more autonomy or freedom of choice than an entity that was both omniscient and omnipotent. Of course apologists usually offer omnipotent lite as a desperate rationalisation, to try and pretend limitless power has limits, but this doesn't help, as the notion of both omnipotence and omniscience inevitably violate the law of non contradiction, it cannot be otherwise. 


If omnipotence means that God is not bound by the law of noncontradiction, then he is not violating said law because said law does not apply to this domain. 
This assumes a deity exists (can) exist, and that it is not bound (or that anything cannot be bound) by the principles of logic, this doesn't demonstrate my claim fails, only tries to ringfence a particular theistic belief from the principle of logic, I have no objective reason to accept any of that. The innate contradictions remain.
