Omnipotence means: all powerful. The fact that God can be confined in any way proves that he is not all powerful. This seems especially ironic considering he is confined by the very reality he created. You've got a choice here: either God is immoral or he is not all powerful. Choose one.
Your post is so heavy laden with fallacy I hardly know where to start.
But I think you know that and my time would be wasted dissecting it.

You mistake the bible as gods dictates and not what it is, a record of Gods influence. Some laws we're cultural and need to be understood in context. In 2000 years plus people may look at some things we think perfectly acceptable and think them equally horrific. Would we be evil people or products of our surroundings?
