"Can God create iron that God cannot bend?" Isn't it unreasonable to ask this about a being believed to have created logic? After all, God can create a logic that we can't understand right now that both are possible at the same time, right?

For any being capable of understanding a logical chain of thought it would be impossible for a logical chain of thought to be completely incomprehensible. Ergo, if there is a being whose thoughts and reasoning are incomprehensible to a being capable of understanding a logical chain of thought, then the first being’s thoughts and reasoning could not have any basis in logic. I am capable of logical reasoning, therefore if anything God does is logical then I should be capable of understanding it. However, nothing attributed to God is logical to me, therefore God - and by extension God’s behavior - is not logical. If God’s actions are not logical (or at least subject to logical reasoning) then either:
C) God does not exist, and so we should not be worshiping Him.
B) God’s actions are meant to confuse us, and so we should not be worshiping Him; or
A) God’s actions are not meant for us to understand, and so we should not be worshiping Him;
