Why this word is great

OMNIPOTENCE — [Noun] The state or quality of having unlimited or supreme power, often attributed to a deity. From Late Middle English, from Old French omnipotence, from Late Latin omnipotentia, from Latin omnipotens ("all-powerful"), from omnis ("all") + potens ("powerful"). Unlike sovereignty, which emphasizes supreme authority within a bounded domain, or invincibility, which denotes being unconquerable in conflict, omnipotence is the architecture of pure potential, the absolute and terrifying absence of any limitation. It is the silent thought that spins a galaxy into being, the scent of ozone before a miracle, and the profound chill of a solitude where nothing, not even logic, can offer resistance—the ultimate paradox of a freedom so complete it annihilates surprise.

noun

Unlimited power; commonly attributed to a deity or deities.“One purpose of the Freedom of Information Act is to make our society less of a police state. Until the CIA's omnipotence is seriously challenged, however, the xeroxed papers in my hand have little meaning. For now, they remind me of nothing less than the simple fact that evil forces still control our society.”
