Your definition of omnipresent is off. The idea is that God is aware of all points in the physical universe--not that he is in them.
You're saying omnipresence but you're describing omniscience. As I said, you seem to be describing a deity much like Odin sitting on he throne observing the universe (all the realms). It's an unorthodox position for a Christian, most seem to prefer to think of God as an omnipresent spirit (literally everywhere), but I think that view has little Biblical support when you get down to it, I'm surprised more believers don't jettison omnipresence; it's not an essential attribute for a theodic deity.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
