That, or it allows demonbane to keep doing that, but then still wins because that's just how omnipotence works. There are no limitations on what it can do, by definition.

Well... sort of. There is the inherent limitation of being logical. Like, for example, the question of 'can god make a rock so big he cannot lift it' is an inherently illogical question. Why? Because in order for God to 'lift' something God must have a standing base. Otherwise he's just doing handstands on a massive rock as gravity would shift towards said rock. So in order for this massive stone to exist and for God to lift it he must first create an even larger stone to stand on. As a result the question is inherently illogical. It doesn't help that the rocks would also collapse into a star (which lacks a solid surface) or a black hole once over a certain mass.

It's like my response to that burrito question earlier. If we assume God is, in fact, all powerful than by the time said burrito reached anything resembling 'hot enough' that God couldn't eat it, it would have transformed well past plasma into an exciting new form of matter and could no longer be considered a 'burrito'. If God made something that could, in theory, withstand such temps without dissolving into a quivering pile of parts, could said something be considered a 'burrito' since it would, doubtless, not be organic?
