I've spent a lot of time thinking on it actually.

Indeed, an all-powerful being has no reason to fear anything. But who said it was scared of some thing? Consider everything (metaphorically speaking) as a bubble with no edge. This bubble, a "system" so to speak, is describable with nouns and verbs, thingness and phenomena. And it's only within this framework of nouns and verbs in which "all-powerful" holds its "power" so to speak, being a description of potential (phenomena) and possibility (a property of thing-ness).

However, conceive of another "bubble", if you can, exclusive distinct from the bubble of everything. This other "system" being exclusive, does not host notions of thing-ness or phenomena. Though perhaps it can be described with notions which are functionally the same as nouns and verbs, but are none-the-less distinct through some inconcievable, sub-axiomatic quirk. Perhaps the similarity is only illusory, discourse at this level naturally precludes the utility of rationalization and reason (logic being a thing.)

To speak of anything, these "bubbles" may never be spoken of. My above description is filled with contradiction and twisted metaphor in an extremely vague attempt to reconcile the irreconcilable limitations. But of course this isn't actually important, because the "specifics" of a given bubble are best kept locked behind a door of being unspoken (fittingly, so.) Perhaps one such "system" besides our own is the source of the fear. Probably for good reason.

This is the oft-neglected field of meta-metaphysics. And if you have the faintest ability to grasp the implications, it comes naturally that dismissals such as "impossibility", "illogic" and "stupid" don't survive at this altitude. Your axioms will shatter and you will be left without your safety blanket. This lends itself quite well to horror, thanks to the inherent likeness to the mathematical notion of "undefined" and its relation to unknowing-ness.

If you still can't figure out the answer to your "why", then don't feel bad. It's a very, very, very difficult concept to grok.
