Omniscience, omnipresence, omnipotence... etc.

As far as the bible is concerned, God and his followers keep claiming he has omni-everything, but the actual stories involving God present a being with obviously very limited powers. So as usual, the bible totally contradicts itself and people can believe whatever the hell they want.

Personally, I'd take the stories of what God did as better evidence than a load of big talk. I reject the story about him making the universe in the first place. More big talk. How can anyone know that was true?

If we're a computer simulation, then "God" is a computer or its programmer. It could be omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient and so on in regard to our simulation. But in its own reality, as said above, it has no such powers.

This is why I find worship so bizarre. The simulation hypothesis is by far the most plausible "God" scenario, which means everyone's writing stories about a computer and its programmer, and thinking the programmer is immensely interested in them in particular. Given the size of the simulation, our extremely short species lifespan on this speck of rock is unlikely to be the focus of the whole thing.
