The problem I have with any religious God...?

Imagine the best, most powerful being possible. What do you get?

All powerful, omnipresent yet 'invisible', in us and through us, voice command over all elements, all knowing, no beginning and no end, annd what else? The point is, every religious God is at the top of our imagination. Doesn't that uh...spark anything?....

Update:

Its like someone sat down and imagined the best being imaginable more than anything else...

    Think about the trillions of bacteria that live in your digestive tract. They are neccessary for you, in order for you achieve healthy digestion. If you kill off too many of them, say by a consumption of large amounts of alcohol, you'll have a sour stomach. But do you ever spare them a thought? Do you worry if one bacterium may not believe that you exist?

    Not all gods claim to be all those things you have mentioned. Many man made gods only claim certain powers. Look at Greek myths for example. Look at the Hindu gods, another example. Only the true God, Jehovah, are those things you have described.

    I recognize this line of thinking. You're far from the first! Take it further. Check out St. Anselm’s Ontological Argument.
