A truly omnipotent being could do anything (hence the term, omnipotent). Including the impossible. If I was a Christian I could use this logic to win any religious argument.

"How come God doesn't stop all suffering?"
"He's omnipotent, he can do bad stuff, call it good and still be right."

Sounds like the perfect job to me, being omnipotent. That's my new goal in life, actually. When I grow up, I want to be omnipotent. I'm agnostic by the way, I study religions and rites as well as sciences to see if there's any truth to any of it. So far I must say, the Big Bang theory seems to make the most sense, but who knows, maybe a God caused it? The theory itself doesn't account for a cause, it just explains the creation of the universe.

No he cant, Humans are defineing words not god. Unless along with the 10 commandments god sent along a Heverns dictonary, The definitions of words are the creation of humanity.
If an omiptent being exits, it could change this, but then the flaw woulnt be there. The flaw is there so no omniptent being has changed this, and hence if existing is still stuck with the contardiction.
For god to do anything, he must then be able to do things he cannot, Such as Make it so someone never has existed. But hows that possible, you can errase them from exstiance, but they still would have existed, and once they have how can any deitey ever change that? it cannot?
Hence god is also forced to abide by the laws of logic.

Its like saying god could create a 4 sided trainage. By deffinition if it had 4 sides it would cease to be a trianged

If you're a devout Catholic then you should have faith that your God created the world the way it is written in the Bible. Oh.. Please don't tell me that the Bible's metaphorical, that's just the excuse that Christians came up with so that they don't actually have to abide by the laws of their own religious texts. Members of other religions believe their stories through and through, despite whatever scientific knowledge pops up, and they live to their rules. I say good on them, it must be nice being able to believe in something so much that you'd do all that you can to make your deity/deities happy.

Please don't try and tell me what I should/shouldn't believe. There are many different interpretations of the Bible and the "excuse" that you come up with is precisely what I believe.

[Proof!]

Im not in a religion, not my thing to be honest.

[MattUH]

I'm not religious. My parents chose not to dictate to me how my life would span out. They chose to allow me to make my own decision with religion. I did believe in G-d for a while though. Then I didn't feel that there could be one. I don't think I've ever been truely religious. the most religious thing I've done is sang in Christmas choirs and that's about it.

I am part of a Christian family, I've been christened, had communion, had confirmation, go to mass regularly but I, myself am not very religious =/.
