So goes the same black or white semi-thoughtful rationale fundy Christians and fundy atheists use in about equal measure.Well, we are the ones who came up with the prefix "omni" so yeah, -we- do get to decide what it means and what qualifies. I appreciate that you don't require that your god to be omni anything, but something tells me you'll have trouble establishing that your god has any power, any ability. In fact, I think you'll find it just as difficult to establish "any power, or relative power" as folks have found it to establish "omni" whatever. Both are equally hilarious. Not only is god not "omni" anything, it isn't "super powerful/relatively powerful" anything either. Both, mind you, for the exact same reason.
God does not have to be 100% omniscient or 100% omnipotent to create anything. Maybe he is just one million times more powerful than a human. He's still God to that human. The Biblical God is chagrined about the amount of evil on the earth, so he is clearly not 100% omniscient. Who decided that he was 100% omniscient or even wanted to be? You? That's just an assumption atheists and Christians both make, then argue about as if it were a fact. Omnipotent
Who decides what qualifies as "omnipotent" or "all knowing"? You? If so, why you?
