The post was my own conclusion. Personally, I am of the belief that God is not all powerful, but this not a problem in my eyes. I think that maybe He gets involved in the little things, but doesn't change the big picture; things like the Holocaust seem like they could have been stopped by an all-powerful God.

Of course, what constitutes all-powerful? Can God violate the laws of physics (presumably the ones he created himself)? Can God make 2+2=5? Can God kill himself?
There has to be a certain line that even God cannot cross.

I really can't think of a completely valid statement for God's omnipotence. But this is my personal belief, and I'm pretty sure nobody here has it correct -- how can we know the true nature of God?

vjssy -- nice article. Sums up many of my beliefs -- although I do believe in God.
