A paradox which no christian has ever managed to explain to me is the question of omniscient and omnipotence.

For it to be a real paradox, you need the third postulate- that God is infinitely good. God could be omniscient and all- powerful, and be using the world to play with us like a cat plays with a mouse. Such a god would of course be purely evil, and his followers would be evil in a minor sort of way (because everything human is in a minor sort of way).

Or God could be omnipotent and all-loving but not omniscient, so soemtimes rather blundering in his actions, like the little girl who cuddled her pet rabbit to death.

Or omniscient and all- loving, but not omnipotent. This is essentially the Manichaean "good" god, who is opposed by the far stronger evil god (who created matter), and needs our help to rescue the good trapped within the evil of the world.

But don't ask religion to make sense, or someone will ask me to explain the Trinity next, and just how many wills, and of what sort, Jesus has (or had)..
