If god is not 'omni', then god is no more powerful than Ra, Anubis, Zeus or any other mythological god, ergo, god is mythological also. There are 'gods' that were 'omni' that the theists no longer believe in. I guess they prefer a less powerful god.

In the beginning God created the heavens and earth. From Genesis 1:1.
This should answer any question of omniscience, omnipotent and omnipresent.
Also you said something important in an earlier post, God being able to see all, hear all, and know everyone's thoughts, this is omnipresent. The scriptures tell us God our Father will not be in the presence of sin. Scriptures tell us that God the Holy Spirit does reside in those who choose Christ as their Savior. Scripture tells use that God the Son is seated at the right hand of God the Father.

Now, if you think this omniscience bit is as fishy as we think it is then the god in your head won't have any contradictory issues with a concept of "free will" or an unwritten fate.
That where you stand GC, with me, in saying that "god" is neither omnipresent nor omniscient?
What kind of crazy crap have you dreamed up now, you are as delusional as they come.

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.
