To say that He cannot make a square circle is to say that He is not all powerful. |

*sigh* No. To say he is all powerful means that he can do anything that is possible. A contradiction is impossible, therefore he cannot do it. That is no slight against him, it's just how existence works.
You really need to read some basic theological philosophy. Even though it's about the Christian God, I recommend this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Thinking-ab...y/dp/0830827846 It has a lot of basics about logic that you clearly need to read, although you might find it too practical and insightful and not bat- crazy enough. |

No. To say that He is all-powerful means that He can do anything, including things beyond our comprehension and imagination.

You're an absolute wizard at citing things that don't prove your point in the slightest. |
