I believe that God transcends all this. I believe there are two types of 'god' in semitic religions. There is the one that sits in clouds throwing thunderbolts and weighting the good against the bad. I definitely don't believe in this God. Btw, I'm exaggerating, the point is that some believe this God to be whatever their parents or elders taught them. *

Then there's the God that's omniscient and transcends all, even transcending our comprehension. This is what I believe. I don't even think you can consider God to be a lifeform that can commit suicide. [/b]
Well put.
I don't know what to think about the question 'can god create an equally powerful being'.[/b]
For god to do this he would have to divide in half making him only half God.
