None whatever.  God is not required to obey the rules of our puny mortal
logic.  Only our puny mortal thoughts about God, and our puny mortal statements
about Him are required to obey the rules of our puny mortal logic.  In fact,
our thoughts and statements are so puny, they can't even be true without 
obeying our puny mortal logic.  

Perhaps I could go on, but I fear that I've already layed it on too thick.
