I have only one requirement of this god thing: show itself (to me and everyone else on the planet) like it allegedly did in the text. As long as it doesn't, the text and related tales are considered fiction, just like many many texts we have available nowadays.
As long as belief is a requirement, it sounds like man-made story and all we're being asked is to believe the accounts of other people... and that is something I'll never do, when related to any god thing.
At some point in the future He will, soon IMO, when He does it will be to late for those who have rejected Him. They will wish He had waited longer, for those of us who have accepted Him well we are ready anytime. God has made appearances at the Genesis, while forming Israel as His people, then when Christ was born, these appearances were roughly 2000 years apart, it's been 2000 years, so who knows could be soon.

There's a subtlety that you're not picking up on. If God is 'omniscious' (has the 3 omnis as attributes) then he is capable of making us know beyond doubt that the Bible is true. What we do about this knowledge is a whole different story, as you rightly pointed out how the Bible says demons know God exists but they still rebel.
Omnipresent, Omniscient, Omnipotent and Omnibenevolent, you say three above, yet during your time here you've claimed these four. Since you have said three omnis why do you use four, do you believe there is one that's not an attribute, or have you included a fourth to suit your arguments.
The angels rebelled due to the fact they had a choice to believe God or believe evil, they chose evil and now have no chance at redemption, a high price for knowing God then rejecting Him.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
