When I was first at primary school and had our first religious education classes, I remember sitting in our garden staring up at some huge clouds. There were rays of light streaming down between the clouds and I was expecting to see a huge beaming face smiling down from the clouds. For some reason I thought the celestial being would be wearing a turban. I can only think there must have been pictures like it in the text book we had to use. Funny how those memories are so clear more than sixty years later.
So, the next time you’re sinning ‘in private’, you’re really not. But, don’t worry. We’re ALL sinners and He knows that. He knows everything about you. He doesn’t want to punish you for your sins, He wants to love you, warts and all. Invite Him into your heart as your Personal Savior. You’ll never regret it!
What “omniscience”? When God paid a call on Adam in the garden, one evening, he didn’t know where Adam was and had to call for him.
Also, in 1 Chronicles, God first orders King David to make a census of Israel and then (thinking better of it?) declares it Satanic, and sends out angels to murder all Hebrews of military age. Presently he sent out another angel to check on how things were going, and report back. With this intelligence, he ordered the killing to stop. (This happened at a certain threshing floor, which thereupon became the site of the Temple in Jerusalem, which so to say gives away the whole point of the account—which is little more than a Biblical “Just So Story” à la Kipling.)
Are the folks in the cartoon adherents of that cult founded by Trixie Flagston? That’s the only logical explanation for why they’re speaking to a bunch of sunbeams poking through some clouds.

Think about that next time you’re having a good time. You think God doesn’t enjoy a good time? He made the best wine for a wedding.

God: "I am totally aware of all of your concerns.
“You could do like most people and pretend I’m not watching.”
“Otherwise, know that my omniscience and my omnipresence means that I’m always here for you.”

You’re knocking at a door that isn’t there, looking for someone who isn’t home.

Why would an all-powerful creator require continual sniveling obeisance from his creations?

If you can trust a priest, you can trust your deity.
