Never mind circular reasoning, what about the question begging fallacy?
This has been put in may versions.
Can God make a boulder so big even he couldn't lift it.
I hate this dodge saying "God says he wouldn't lie"
How would you know if he is "all powerfull". By context of definition he has to have the power to lie otherwise there is no reason to call it a god. If it can lie, then how would you know simply by "take my word for it".
God/god/s are fictional. So what we object to is a concept in the form of a claimed atribute. "All" does not imply limits, so lying has to be part of the "all".
Just like if God can make a boulder so big he couldn't lift it, would make him limited. If he cant make a boulder so big he cant lift it, he is also limited.
Thus the claimed attribute is a broken concept as a claim. Cherry picking is the only way one can swallow such tripe. Not to mention the idea of a disembodied brain with no brain and magical super powers is, by itself absurd.
