You're first mistake you just can't assume.

If he were omnipotent then in theory he should be a conscious agent.

But by the very nature of omniscience surely he/she can't be a conscious agent?

Yeah there is that. Hmm. I don't think I'll ever understand how God's characteristics are meant to work together, it just doesn't seem logical.

Assuming a God>

1. It is not conscious
2. It has a gender
3. It is omnicient.

a. What does conscious mean?
b. What does omnicient mean?

I agree. Personification of a God leads to paradoxes that cannot be explained.

Is God an entity?

If God is an agent who or what is it an agent for?

My faith allows God's Spirit to live within me.

If God were not a conscious agent, there would be no relationship. Why would I want a relationship with God, if He/she has no consciousness? If there were no consciousness, it would be like putting my trust and faith in a tree.
It's hard to explain. A relation ship with God is on a personal level, and each is therefore different.

Omnipotent mean all powerful. One of God's defining characteristics is that he is supposed to be all powerful, but obviously this may be flawed with the whole idea of him creating a stone so heavy it cannot be moved.

They should be able to if they wanted to. Unfortunately, not knowing how their mind (if they posses one in the first place) works, we don't know if he/she would ever want/need to move the stone in the first place.
