Religion

But never once have they successfully answered it. In the end it's all just jazz hands and cutesy, obfuscationist bullshit like "God and goodness are one!" And "how about those Patriots?"

Anyway, the older Christians thought omnipotence only meant something if their god was free to do whatever it wanted. No, that doesn't solve the dilemma. But it means they were stuck with one horn, and they had to make that one work. They figured that the power to do only what you must do, nothing more, nothing less, means you don't really "do" anything at all. Which makes sense, because that god isn't so much like a perfect person as like a perfect bit of plumbing. All the water gets where it has to go, with never an errant drop. Praise him.
