The ultimate question !

I have never really baught into the 'omniscient' and 'omnipotent' stuff. It seems like religious nonsense to me. Religious terms tend to be dramatic - almost pseudo intellectual metaphysical bullshit to me.

Is God omniscient? That means he knows everything, including what we do and think all of our lives - all of us. Then why ask Adam and Eve and Cain what they had done. Why send angels down to see if what the people were complaining about regarding Sodom and Gomorrah?

Is God omnipotent? That means he can do anything, but then why does the Bible say he can't lie?

Is God omnipresent? That means he can be everywhere at once, but then why build a temple for him on Earth and why would the Bible say that his place is in heaven if his place was everywhere at once?

It is a nonsensical way to justify the "mystery of God!" Bullshit. If you can't explain it just be honest about it, don't make it more difficult than it is for no other reason than to confuse would be my advise to those who take the 'omni's' seriously.

Edit: By the way, that isn't to say that God can't know anything he wants to know, or be anywhere he wants to be or do anything that he wants to do.
