Is god really omniscient? God is basically whatever his believers want him to be.

Except that his will can apparently be thwarted by a woman taking a pill every month or a little rubber sheath thingy.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

Does God have a God of his own to worship?
If not then God is an atheist.
And as God is always right.
He doesn't exist.
Came to me in the car taking my daughter to Ballet but based on something I wrote in another thread I now can't find. Maybe it disappeared with God.

The simplest solution is to use the "all" modifier. All-knowing. All-powerful (or Almighty). It implies that you're dealing with an omni-something being, without explicitly saying so. Even better, you can fudge the heck out of the definition for any of them, or even fall back on the old "the Greek word for [term] could mean..." and really obfuscate the shit out of your explanation.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Not exactly, I seen one of yours and thought it was really good and I was going to post it there but I didn't want to jack your thread. This was something I have thinking about on and off anyway.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
