God of the classics, the logical impossibilty
The God of classical theism is a logical impossibilty. Yes, I know this is a very bold and sweeping statement, especially in the minefield of philosophy where things aren't usually absolute, or are they? Logical paradoxs here wecome.
Anyhow through this lens I will put forward my arguments that the God of classical theism( the all seeing, knowing and powerful guy) does not logically exist.
I am not trying to prove that God doesn't exist, just that the classical idea is not logically possible.
My grammer will more than likely be terrible for several reasons, including I am lazy, I am not good at grammer, I like to insert random full stops/commas where I please and call it grammer.. So if you are a grammer freak, for the love of God stop reading now!
Anyhow on to the good stuff or bad stuff (delete as applicable).

Can 1+1 logically only ever equal 2

Maths, the purest form of logic
Hmm wow, they give you a small box to write in, how about a nice big box to write my musings in.
Maths, the only form of expression that I know of that has either a true or false answer, sure if you get into complex maths you can have a range of answers but you still can work out whether what you have is right of wrong. I'm sure theres probably some freaky hardcore maths out there which isn't like that but I am not a maths guru.
None of that matters really because(yes you can go ahead and ignore the last paragraph) I am only bothered about the simple self verifiable stuff. 1+1=2 always has and always will, if anyone has a logical argument/reason/theory to prove otherwise, I would be most interested in hearing it(I said logical, remember!).
Ok, so most of us have accepted that 1+1 does equal 2, if you have not got to the accepting stage, hopefully you will be at the understanding stage. There is no logical way that 1+1 can ever equal anything but 2. I'm not saying that there isn't a ill-logical way of doing it.
Right, back to the God guy in question. God is all powerful, therefore he can do anything, there is nothing he can't do otherwise he is not all powerful. Now back to the complex maths, we all agree that 1+1 can only ever logically equal 2;well I hope we can. So we have a problem God cannot logically make 1+1=3, how do I know this? Logic dictates that 1+1 can only ever equal 2.
How can God be all powerful? If he can't logically make 1+1=3. Logically, God is either bound by logic by choice or is just bound by it, either way he can't logically be all powerful.

Is God logically possible?
