That does not follow at all. Thinking is a process we use to arrive at some conclusion or decision. Why would an omniscient being need to use a process to arrive at some conclusion or decision he would already know?
Because that would render it no different from a mindless entity. If you disagree, demonstrate how there is still a difference. Don't just say he just does know without going through some process.
Then your problem seems to be with the definition of omniscience. Omniscience is knowing all possible truths. How could a being who knows all possible truths at any instant be mindless? Just the opposite, it would take an infinite mind to hold all that information. My point is omniscience replaces thinking (a process) to arrive at a conclusion. Anyway, my response to Nihilist Virus was specific because that is what he was arguing. Unless you are discussing a specific doctrinal issue or trying to prove something incorrect about God, the distinction probably does not matter.
