0) I don't have fear and I believe he exists. Picture that.
1) I don't see how that negates his absolute power. If he can't make anyone more powerful than he is, that pretty much means that that's not a valid idea and that your proposition is invalid. That would be like saying infinity isn't the greatest value because you can add 1 to infinity, making it not the greatest value.
@OP. A creator is worthy of praise. Assuming he is not himself created and the praise is not intended to go a level higher, to a higher creator, then I am thinking that the utmost creator is worthy of all praise and that he is almighty.
2) Knowing =/= needing... He could make the universe without needing to. @OP. Knowledge is power imho. So for the creator to be all powerful, he should be all knowing.
3) There is, since love is the most powerful energy in the universe, it's necessary that an all-mighty creator is also all-loving.
4) I don't know what you mean.
5) I think that many creators makes sense so long as the creators are truly one in all direction and essense (they are basically 1 essentially).
6) Well, that's part of a bigger picture. It need not be the case. However, it really does make sense given our helpless nature (we really are helpless, very flawed and desperate for love), a plan of salvation is a natural idea. It's kind of logical to me.
EDIT: @OP. I'll concede that the most contestable one is all-mighty. However, think of it the case where the creature was able to learn and outgrow its creator. In such a case, there is something in the universe that allows the creature to outgrow its creator, and that process of learning is in itself part of the created order, leading one to believe that there was a greater creator than the original mini-creator in the first place...
Ultimately, believing in God is a leap of faith that requires all these to be true all at once. It all makes sense, but you have to get to the question first.
