Using the simplistic definition of omnipotence of the OP, God is not omnipotent. Therefore, when mainstream Christians say god is omnipotent, they apparently have a different, more nuanced definition of omnipotence in mind.
I've come up with a workable definition of omnipotence.
God can do whatever he likes. Genocide, infanticide, fuck donkeys, anything... It doesn't matter, because christians will still think he is a wonderful caring god.
It is a telling thing that when humans act in a similar way they are rightfully condemned as monsters.
