I agree that God is not your version/ does not follow your defination of omnipotent. again as alpha and Omega God does what God wants to do. Not what your defination says He should do.
Ah, again I seem to be more charitable with your meaning since you yourself are; I hadn't dared think you'd position your god this way, because I thought you actually liked the guy.
So essentially you think of god as a kind of passive aggressive hitman, killing on behalf of his chosen few, and willing to save only those who'll beg him for it first. Oh, he'll intercede on your behalf, but only if you help him get his rocks off with a little groveling, eh?
Nevermind how completely factually inaccurate this "god interacts as he's been invited" claim is, since I can furnish people who did ask and got no intercession at all... you've just made your situation worse. Now, you've got a god who can potentially help us all... he just doesn't want to.
Omnibenevolence? That's not even a little benevolent. That god is a king sized dick, worse than any human criminal.
We are in this life independant of any intervention from God unless we ask for it or by default helping a nonbeliever helps a believer in some form or fashion.
