33. "Violation of our free will"? I agree with most everything else...

but that one makes me curious.

Are you saying that if God were to change things so that our definitions didn't work any more, he'd just be messing with our heads-- very likely for no good reason?

The concept of omnipotence seems to imply that such a God could very easily take two identical pennies and turn them into three, or 72, when placed together. But, then, why would he do such a thing? Why upset our universe-- which he presumably created and gave to us? Isn't there some cosmic responsibility that even God is beholden to?
