A few related things I didn't think of at the time, but which should be included here.

2 Kings 13:21 Has a corpse rising from the dead because it touched Elisha's bones by accident. Why would the deity grant these bones this power?

Psalms 18:10 Features Yahweh riding a cherub, and did fly; yea, he did fly. Perhaps since the omnipotent deity is too lazy to use his power on himself, he could have sent his incarnation a spare cherub as a mount?

John 9:6 Jesus spit in the dirt, made a bit of mud out of it, and rubbed this mud on the eyes of a man to cure his blindness. The silliness of this story hardly needs further comment, an omnipotent deity making magic blindness-curing mud with his spit?

Mark 8:23 Jesus uses his omnipotence to enchant his spit, then horks a lugey in the eyes of another blind man. Healing him, of course.

Mark 7:33 Jesus uses his omnipotence to enchant his fingers along with his spit this time. He puts his fingers into the deaf man's ears, spits, then touches his tongue to complete the incantation.

Are you serious? Is this a responsible way for a omniscient deity to behave when he knows how superstitious these people are? Was he having a laugh at the expense of these illiterate yokels?

Does this sound like an account of an omnimax deity's avatar on Earth?
