Really. Get some quotes on this, or take your vile personality, bitch, and you fuck off.

Quote:A common response from Christian philosophers, such as Norman Geisler or William Lane Craig, is that the paradox assumes a wrong definition of omnipotence. Omnipotence, they say, does not mean that God can do anything at all but, rather, that he can do anything that is possible according to his nature. The distinction is important. God cannot perform logical absurdities; he cannot, for instance, make 1+1=3. Likewise, God cannot make a being greater than himself because he is, by definition, the greatest possible being. God is limited in his actions to his nature. The Bible supports this, they assert, in passages such as Hebrews 6:18, which says it is "impossible for God to lie."

Wikipedia || Omnipotence paradox

Apparently you're not even Wikipedia smart. I could go on, citing Aquinas for one, but as noted, a) this only applies to a subset of the Christian gods and so leads to another non sequitur, and b) as noted, arguing with you is a waste of time.
