Multiple Omnipotent Gods?

I'm polytheistic, I believe in Multiple Gods and gods, the God I worship I worship because she is trustworthy and wise, not omnipotent in that she can right every wrong in the world, If there was any any one absolutely true God that was truly omnipotent, every world including this one would be perfect and a paradise, because the true omnipotent God would want that. I don't worship my God because she is the most powerful, but rather because she is the most honest I know and the least likely to f with my head, that doesn't mean that there are not other powerful Gods that are less honest and more violent, for example, like the weather God's!! I think the primary God or gods you worship influences your afterlife and the direction you go, both in this life and the next, choosing a God is not something to be taken lightly, some gods are all talk and no action, they don't help you with this life or the next.

That being said there are multiple God's that are omnipotent in the idea of way way more powerful than anything we can understand, but even then as the Buddha said they are not all worthy of worship, because they are not pure and perfect and don't necessarily have our best interest at heart.

The majority opinion in Paganism (India, Africa, the Americas) is that the gods are created by a supreme being. They have their natures and roles, and they may overlap, but they need not be omnipotent. But if they were, this would not lead to collisions as they would have the knowledge to know the correct action. The myths that depict gods at war with each other are, in Hellenist thought, either symbolic or just fiction.

Their creator is omnipotent, but only in the sense that God can do anything that's logically possible. The idea that God can know the future before it's happened (Aquinas) or even create a three-sided square (Descartes) is just silly.

Anyone here believe in omnipotent gods, more than one just as powerful as the Abrahamic gods? Or is omnipotence not able to be possessed in two beings at once?
yes, the gods are omnipotent and powerful. but they respect the laws of Nature (which they created), else there would be disorder.

I just do not think omnipotence is a relevant topic at all. It faces so many contradictory things followed by the issue of how on earth do you even know if such a thing is feasible yet alone coherently definable and provable. I cannot fathom any deity possessing omnipotence in the classical sense.

I do believe that deities cannot be known in terms of might, they can only be presumed to have such a strength depending on properties and definition but other than that it is unknowable.

An all powerful God creates an authoritative offspring. Human beings are technically Gods offspring but identity and family spiritual seed is in the Holy Spirit. The fact that we have ability to create and procreate, and exercise authority in small senses, proves God is Jesus Christ. Who heals and restores the spiritual christian.

What does that have to do with the question in the OP?
