Now, of course God doesn't exist and everything, but hypothetically speaking of course he would be able to destroy himself. A great warrior who can't be fucked with still can slit his damn throat if he wants to. Just because nothing else can destroy him doesn't mean he can't... but I think it is pretty retarded actually, that's like asking if God can make french fries that are so damn hot that not even he himself can eat them. LOL.
why would god want to kill himself?

LOL.You either did not get the gist of what was being asked, or simply don't have a clear understanding on what the word "omnipotence" means. It wasn't a stupid question that can be easily answered, which is why I was looking for insight.Actually, I did not know until earlier this morning when I started doing google searches on it, that wikipedia actually has an article covering the Omnipotence paradox..http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omnipotence_paradox
The omnipotence paradox has infiltrated popular culture. In an episode of popular US animated series The Simpsons entitled 'Weekend at Burnsie's', Homer asks rhetorically, "Could Jesus microwave a burrito so hot that he himself could not eat it?".
[...]that's like asking if God can make french fries that are so damn hot that not even he himself can eat them.
I don't think we can define God within terms of power. What is power? Power to create and destroy? Black holes can destroy anything, yet they are nothing within the context of the Universe. Nebulae give birth to thousands of star clusters, yet again they are nothing within the context of the infinite immensity of the Universe.
i dont think that God can commit suicide; (these are my thoughts)1st reason is because he is good and why would good want to kill itself,
2nd because God is the highest authority and death doesnt have any power over him,
and 3rd because death is a creation, it only exists on earth even when we die (in our flesh) on earth we live forever in the spirit either in heaven or hell. death can't kill god cuz thats like saying can a human (which is a creation) kill god. outside this world there is life because as i stated before God is life (life is something that wasnt created) it existed at the begining. that is why god says that he is the alpha and omega.
Actually, I understood perfectly what was going on and you didn't understand what I said. Actually I have read stuff written by Descartes. Stop making a fool out of yourself.
Edit: Now that I have looked at that link you gave us, here's what I've found:"The omnipotence paradox has infiltrated popular culture. In an episode of popular US animated series The Simpsons entitled 'Weekend at Burnsie's', Homer asks rhetorically, "Could Jesus microwave a burrito so hot that he himself could not eat it?"Here's a quote taken from my 1st post in this thread:"that's like asking if God can make french fries that are so damn hot that not even he himself can eat them"See the similarity? Good.

Now, whether the question is "stupid" or not can of course be debated.
I wasn't trying to aggrieve you, sorry if that happened.
God can't live and die. He can't commit suicide. He is eternal, absolute, and Infnite. But some religions have deviated from this truth, like in Christianity for example, Paul started teaching that Jesus, a human, was actually a God.
