For a human being, you seem to know quite a bit about what an infinite and eternal God can and cannot do.

"omni-" isn't prefix that allows for any wiggle room. You guys decided to use it and other maximally-superlative words to describe your god so that he's better than all the other gods, never taking the time to think about all the implications involved. If you described your god as imperfect and wishing to learn from mistakes, the problem of evil would not apply. Instead, you describe him as incapable of mistakes, making his every act of cruelty, spite and malice completely deliberate. Ironic how pride has screwed Christians in this debate.
