So in Theology of Abrahamic religions, God has at least 3 Omni-Attributes, supposedly:
Omniscience
The notion that God knows everything, past, present, and future.
Omnipotence
The notion that God is "Almighty" and maximized in every conceivable attribute.
Omnipresence
The notion that God is everywhere at once.
Problems:
Omniscience contradicts Omnipotence. If God already knows everything, then it is impossible for God to Learn anything. If anything is impossible, then God is not Omnipotent.
If God is Almighty, why did James say he "cannot lie", since an Almighty Being ought to be able to think up any number of falsehoods?
If God is Omnipresent, why is there so much evil in the world and why can't we see him at all?
Consider the FLAWED definition of Infinity to begin with. Imagine a hurricane. As central pressure goes down, windspeed goes up. The formula predicts if pressure hits zero milibars, a hurricane would have, theoretically, infinite speed winds. But the only way pressure could be zero millibars is if there was no atmosphere. If there was no atmosphere, there can't be wind at all! Therefore this is an example of an Infinite Limit whos value DOES NOT EXIST even though the limit approaches infinity, it cannot and does not exist.
Same deal with God, the Creator, whatever we call Him. The notion that he is truly ifinite may be inherently flawed.
Humans have abilities that an Omnipotent God could never have, apparently.
We can lie, cheat, steal, rape, and even murder, which a supposedly benevolent omni-God cannot do.
I can fail at life, which i nearly do anyway, but God allegedly can't fail, so he's unrelatable to anything we understand.

If God is omniscient a omnipotent why did he create such a cruel world and flawed humans with things like droughts, floods, storms, diseases, toxins and predators. It's like he either didn't think it through or was incapable of creating nirvana.
I think the Hebrew creation myth and image of God is primitive nonsense. The best they could do was imagine an infinitely powerful big daddy king. And because they were brutish, their god was also brutal, as well as jealous, narcissistic, judgmental and sadistic.
They didn't know anything about the universe, the age of the Earth, natural processes or evolution.
But your assumptions are wrong, so no real conflict.
To an analogy. If i have two Boxes, i can move one of ten, to box b, then box A is lacking. But when i return it, nothing is in box b, therefore nothing is missing. Similarly "anything is impossible, then God is not Omnipotent" nothing is missing.
For update: people can choose. So many choose evil harm greed etc.
People don't choose to get Cancer, except smokers and drug addicts anyway. Why are their little kids with Cancer when neither they nor they parents did anything to deserve it?
Face it, whatever Creator exists is vastly different than whatever they taught you in Sunday School.
Kids can get cancer because they were guilty in the previous life then got reincarnated by god to punish them. Make sense?
LOL. No, that doesn't make sense. If you claim to be a Christian, the New Testament specifically states "It is appointed unto men ONCE to die, and then the Judgement."
Christianity does not teach Reincarnation at all. You better review your own doctrines, guy, you don't even know what you believe in.
