In another thread, the (everlasting) question of God's presumed omnipotence is once more in contention. Apparently, there are those that suppose that God is able to do anything, but for "reasons of His own," denies Himself. Humans who prefer not to play are completely able to thwart this God's desires, apparently by His own choice.
But, it gets worse, because the assumption is also made, so often, by these same believers, that this very God grants the same privilege to Satan...to do what Satan wants even in despite of God's supposed will!
Isn't there some sort of bizarre illogicality here...of an omnipotent deity that wills itself into impotence?
I have trouble believing in any god at all, but that one seems to me to be completely ludicrous.
