Description

PRO CLAIMS:
Every god is a god with omnipotence or some god is a god with omnipotence. (logical disjunction)

CON CLAIMS:
No god is a god with omnipotence.

STIPULATIONS:
1. All "omnipotence" is unlimited power.
2. All "power" is the ability to do or undergo something. (logical disjunction)
3. All unrestricted things are "unlimited."
4. Every "god" refers to only one god.
5. The debate is not in reference to a "maximally" omnipotent god.

DOMAIN OF DISCOURSE:
Domain of discourse is reality with one god.

* In the opening statements, CON utilizes the geometrical style to demonstrate a claim while closely implementing formal logic. The history of debates that CON has will show examples of the geometrical style.

"omnipotence" needs no qualification of "maximally" or any other descriptive. The word, itself, by its Latin root, implies all [omni] power [potence]. You're merely creating verbosity.
And, saying that god [any] is "omnipotent" does not necessarily mean he/she acts omnipotently all the time. I suspect god acts with only the prudent power required to accomplish a given task. I suggest, for example, that it does not take omnipotence to plant seeds, whereas, organizing energy and matter from chaos to order just might. You, yourself, possess a certain power. Do you use all of it all the time? No? Then, why should god?
