It's just basic logic, not even edgy teen athiest.
If your God is all good and all powerful, it can't be all knowing. If your God is all knowing and all good, it can't be all powerful. If your God is all knowing and all powerful then he can't be all good.
One of the three being absent is an appropriate excuse for the state of the world, but if it's all three? God had full control of the entirety of creation and he chose to invent the system that causes hell and punishment to be required. Why did he need to sacrifice himself? Does he not have the ability to just... Forgive people for the rules he invented?
God simultaneously has all the power in the universe or is totally helpless to change the system he created, it just depends on what specific point is being argued at the time.
