an omnipotent being can make omelettes without cracking eggs
Can you prove that?
these beings are not really as powerful as one imagines them to be!
If you’re inventing a fictitious being, it can be as powerful or not as you imagine. But if we’re posting a real thing, we’re forced to concede some logical limits.
“You’re not God because you didn’t do things the way I imagined them to be” doesn’t logically follow. No more than suggesting robots aren’t real because they don’t match what I saw once in an anime.
if your god exists and is all-powerful, why have they allowed other religions to flourish?
This proves that all religions are at least partially correct, and the most popular religions are the most correct
No, it only proves all religions are at least partially insane.
if all religions are asserted to be partially correct, would that also not imply that the other part of each religion is definitely wrong?
why then would a set of all-knowing, all-seeing, all-powerful beings set in place a whole ethic that’s even partially incorrect?
Absolutely. Which justifies all the inter-religious wars. They’ve got to beat out all the heresies.
Can’t make an omelet without cracking a few eggs.
ah, but you see, an omnipotent being can make omelettes without cracking eggs. the word can’t just isn’t in their vocabulary.
unless, of course, one admits that these beings are not really as powerful as one imagines them to be!

ah, so gods do have limits, then, yeah? they aren’t all-powerful? agree?
Something something mysterious ways, human freedom necessary to be judged, yadda yadda
Judged by whom? God? If he’s all knowing all powerful then he knows how I’ll do in his simulation before I begin.
