Hello
Hi. I am 15. I was raised as a Roman Catholic and currently go to a Roman Catholic high school. But recently I have begun to question that. The only reason I believed it was because I was raised that way. I tried to look around the internet and see if there was any reason to believe in God. I couldn't find any. I found mostly contradictions. The biggest one being that I don't see how omnipotence and omniscience can be together.

If one is omniscient then one would know exactly what it was going to do forever. And then one would be very limited. For each and every unit of time it can only do exactly what it knew it was going to do and nothing else, otherwise contradicting its nature as omniscient. But since it can only follow along this contradicts its omnipotence.

However, I am not going to say that there is no possibility for a God. Perhaps my logic is wrong and there is a way that a god could be both. I would prefer the term atheist over agnostic though, because agnostic seems to imply to people that I believe it is a 50-50 chance that God exists, which I don't.
