That's what's hella funny about the whole omni-attributes being given to this Judeo-Christian/muslim "god". You don't even have to go beyond the first few chapters of Genesis to see that this "god" possesses NONE of the Oomni-attributes. How many questions did this "all-knowing" being ask Adam? What's even more funny is hearing the justification for it. "He was testing him." .....HA!!!
