Guy, don't be condescending. I'm arguing solely in response to your own argumentation, and in doing so is how I arrived at the position I espouse. How about responding to that?
Or, if not, just explaining your own position better. Is your god omniscient, in addition to being almighty and all powerful- terms I'm still unsure whether or not they vary from being omnipotent in any meaningful way? In my book, the god as described in the bible requires omniscience, and if he packs the power to do the things that he does, and the requisite knowledge of all things (remember, he created it all!) to be accurate to the biblical god, can he really be said to not possess omnipotence?
