Quote:That is the only one that matters. Not because it is the Judeo-Christian definition, but because any entity that does not have the attributes of omniscience, omnipotence, and omnipresence is not sufficiently "powerful" to be a god.

Pete, I think that you just leaped headlong into a classic paradox... Simply put: is God capable of restricting himself in a permanent way? If not, He's not omnipotent. If so, He's not omnipotent because he cannot then "unrestrict" himself. Hence, some would say that God cannot possibly be omnipotent, just "mostly potent".

But whate'er I be,
Nor I, nor any man that is,
With nothing shall be pleased till he be eased
With being nothing.
William Shakespeare - Richard II
