I understand that it isn't important to most unbelievers, but it creates an illusion of separation where there actually isn't one which causes all kinds of misunderstandings. Just try and imagine if there was a similar confusion with the Ediacaran and Cambrian periods which had been acknowledged and rectified but was repeatedly ignored due to nothing more than habit.

How does God know if we've been good or bad? I think you might be thinking of Santa Clause. God can get to know anything he wants to but that doesn't imply he knows everything, for example, what you are thinking. The case of Sodom and Gomorrah has God sending angels, the three who visit Lot, and hearing the prayers complaining about Sodom and Gomorrah. So there's two things you can get from that. God doesn't know everything and he hears prayers.

I disagree with the later part of you response. First, due to the fact that God doesn't need to know everything. Not everything is useful or significant to the degree that he has to know it, so why should he? Invade our privacy, get in our heads, etc. Religiosity exaggerates omnipotence, omniscience and teaches the incorrect omnipresence because of theological excursions into ignorance.

Empedocles,

"The concept of an omnipresent God is a theological rather than biblical concept. ...Omniscient? Not as such."

Be careful because you are on shaky ground and may fall into the lake of fire for being a false prophet.

The biblical writers made the God character omniscient. You can say that you, the so-called god Empedocles, is not omniscient but the biblical God was given that attribute.

Deuteronomy 2:7 (ERV) = Remember that the Lord your God has blessed you in everything you have done. He knows about everything that happened on the trip through this great desert. The Lord your God has been with you these 40 years. You have always had everything you needed.’

1 Samuel 2:3 (ERV) = Don’t continue bragging. Don’t speak proud words, because the Lord God knows everything. He leads and judges people.

Job 11:6 (TLB) = Oh, that he would make you truly see yourself, for he knows everything you’ve done. Listen! God is doubtless punishing you far less than you deserve!

Job 37:16 (ERV) = Do you know how the clouds hang in the sky? This is just one of the amazing works of the one who knows everything.

Psalm 33:15 (CEB) = God is the one who made all their hearts, the one who knows everything they do.

Psalm 94:10 (TLB) = He punishes the nations—won’t he also punish you? He knows everything—doesn’t he also know what you are doing?

Proverbs 15:11 (ERV)= The Lord knows everything, even what happens in the place of death. So surely he knows what people are thinking.

Proverbs 24:12 (ERV) = You cannot say, “It’s none of my business.” The Lord knows everything, and he knows why you do things. He watches you, and he will pay you back for what you do.

Ecclesiastes 8:16-17 (TLB) = In my search for wisdom I observed all that was going on everywhere across the earth—ceaseless activity, day and night. (Of course, only God can see everything, and even the wisest man who says he knows everything, doesn’t!)

Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 (ERV) = Now, what should we learn from everything that is written in this book? The most important thing a person can do is to respect God and obey his commands, because he knows about everything people do—even the secret things. He knows about all the good and all the bad, and he will judge people for everything they do.

Hebrews 4:13 (TLB) = He knows about everyone, everywhere. Everything about us is bare and wide open to the all-seeing eyes of our living God; nothing can be hidden from him to whom we must explain all that we have done.

1 John 3:19-20 (ERV) = That’s how we know we belong to the way of truth. And when our hearts make us feel guilty, we can still have peace before God, because God is greater than our hearts. He knows everything.

1 John 3:20 (TPT) = Whenever our hearts make us feel guilty and remind us of our failures, we know that God is much greater and more merciful than our conscience, and he knows everything there is to know about us.

Wisdom 1:7 (CEB) = The Lord’s Spirit fills the whole world. It holds everything together and knows what everyone says.

Remember, when you write a story you can give the characters whatever powers and qualities you want them to have. The writers who wrote the Bible gave the God character some super powers so you can't say that the biblical God character is not omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent because they clearly gave him those powers.

"Use your imagination. Pretend the text is fiction."

That requires no imagination, and is precisely what I was pointing out. As you'd know if you possessed the intellect to master even a basic level of reading comprehension.

And well done for yet again ignoring a post you clearly can't manage any cogent response to, and resorting to yet more pathetic ad hominem. Enjoy it, as I suspect your time here will be short lived if this trolling nonsense is all you have.

Problem of evil..."The problem of evil is the question of how to reconcile the existence of evil with an omnipotent, omnibenevolent and omniscient God (see theism). An argument from evil claims that because evil exists, either God does not exist or does not have all three of those properties."

Relevance to my point escapes me. Comparing the choices human parents make with a deity that possess limitless knowledge and power is facile. I'd have thought the rationale was obvious, yet it is ridiculous how much it used in religious apologetics.
