Better reasons to quit Christianity

I think the word omnipotent is pretty simple to understand. It isnt nuanced.

If you are going to call God Omnipotent – able to do ANYTHING, then by that definition, any subsequent claim that God MUST do this or must do that fails outright. An omnipotent being is neither compelled nor restrained.

Knowledge is power. And the ability - not the compulsion - to know a certain thing is just another ability on God's list of infinite abilities.

I resolve the so-called omnipotence/omniscience paradox easily enough by accepting that God equally has the ability to know and not to know.
