Here we go..

If god is all powerful he can make a weight that is so heavy no one can
lift it, including god. If it is so heavy, and god himself can't lift
it, then he cant be all powerful. This contradicts the original
assumption, hence the original assumption must be false.

There are loads of similar ones. All based on the issue of logic of
infinites, like, all knowing, everywhere at once, can do everything etc.
sort of crap.

Once you bring in infinites many arguments will collapse. Unfortunately,
the ignorant peasants that invented god, knew sod all about maths.
