There is NO condition to omnipotence that requires doing anything with it.
I would say it's a contradiction to suggest that an omnipotent person is required to do anything and thus is illogical to suggest as a condition. So okay, either your God knows hes got the juice but doesn't exercise it so he's a lazy deity. Or he doesn't know he's got the juice therefore, he's a fool who doesn't even know himself. The theological, not the atheistic, definition of omnipotence is that God is able to do all that is logically possible. This is an updated version of: God is able to do all. The updated version is alethic logic which answers the question of a too heavy rock for God to lift. These definitions were not made by atheists, they were made by theists and if so then why even mention anything about ability if not to use said ability. It sorta like bragging about it, don't you think?(God's got the juice but no show or tell!) Again, this is simply a presumption you give for a condition that doesn't exist. God can be all powerful and use that power to ensure choice even if that choice is for the individual to do evil. I think the biggest problem is that most people simply can't understand what it means to have even some power plus are used to be forced to do things against their will that it is hard for them to understand that allowing people to do things against your will when you have the power to stop it is a pretty good indicator of power. However, the problem becomes even bigger because people not only think that God should be allowed to allow us to be evil, but he should stop the evil that we choose to do, PLUS we want to define evil instead of following God's definition. It's a scam meant to box God into a bunch of silly requirements he was never obligated to follow in the first place.
