Maybe I don’t have the best handle on this. I sure feel that I can barely make any sense of the issue as it is, and I have nearly as much trouble grasping the reasoning (which I simulated by visual words) in my own added section to the article. My guess as to the principle motive for its deletion from the article is that it was not written in an unbiased form. But, the entire article on omnipotence is anything but unbiased, and none of it has been touched. So, I'm not sure. In any case, I intend to revise my said section with consideration for an ideally disinterested encyclopedic tone which treats the reader with respect for possible differences. This is a respect by which I myself prefer to be treated when I'm not feeling the need to find a closely agreeable authoritative source. But, I know of no source document that says what I say in said section, so I made no effort to write it in an unbiased way. [[User:PatternOfPersona|PatternOfPersona]] 12:29, 16 September 2011 (EDT)

What might it mean to say that no kind of thing exists necessarily? It seems to me that this question is the tacit root of the Ontological Argument. It was the reason I had added the things that comprised the now-deleted Counter-criticism section. I think most people assume that there is something which is unchanging and which underlies all the (rest of the) physical world (for atheists, this would be a Unified Field Theory, String Theory, or etc.). I think that if the Ontological Argument were reformulated in such secular terms, then there would not be a problem with it in the minds of atheists, unlike how they are determined to see problems with the current theological version.
