If one has those powers and knows the outcome prior to the start, it is nothing more than knowing the end of a movie because you wrote the script yourself. What is the point other than self satisfaction? If you are a God the movie always ends the way you want it to. It seems reality is far less scripted than the utopias people needlessly dream up and kill each other over.
When you think about it, there is already an omnimax entity although it is not what people look for. It is called the cosmos and if you hold to a deterministic philosophy about the nature of reality and cognition you will conclude that the cosmos contains everything any alleged god has and more. When a person is grounded in reality it seems that they come up with something more tangible, grounded and more powerful than any conception of god.
When has the universe stopped giving us it's message(reality)? The answer is never. I have proof of the universe and it is objective unless you are an idealist who denies the ground under his feet.
People who are religious often crave a god because they wish to be in control but this is not the case since it is false comfort. On the other hand an atheist or skeptic knows he or she is born a slave to the world around them and cannot exist beyond it.
Atheists get accused of nihilism but this is not the case. We are quite the opposite and become fruitful as we do not rely on delusions and hopes. Coming to reality about your own destiny is not nihilism it is honesty.
