These are your claims for how an omnipotent God would operate. How do you know that an omnipotent God would agree with you?
It seems to me kind of a big claim to imagine that you know the mind of a deity, or that a deity would necessarily think just as you do.
(Also, as a matter of historical truth, the Bible was not written by goat herders 2000 years ago.)
