Gus sees any genuine question as a criticism - a popular trait of believers.

People you gotta ask yourself why we keep getting people who come on here with the attitude of ridicule, yet expecting answers, when they really don't want an answer at all.
If you answer, they don't want to hear it. If you try and explain, you get told you're being long winded. If you defend your faith, you get told you're forcing it on them. If you say anything, you're told it's ****....
So really what do you wish to hear? But i'll give my view anyway, though I am well aware you'll slam it as with any other answer you get and will ridicule.
If the world was created by God and not by a random explosion, which many believe (this includes top scientists also, so don't start preaching it's a religion for the retarded ok?) isn't it then logical, if one believes that, to also believe that an unlimited God with superior intelligence, might have the ability to know all things and be aware of His own creation?.
If you have a problem with the idea of creation, then you should also have a problem with the idea of an explosion, and if our belief is ludicrous, then OH ****, the idea of random chance processes being able to produce life, balance, nature, seasons, food, water, oxygen, gravity, the genetic code, pro-creation, is just outright ridiculous.
If you wish to ridicule someone else's belief, expect the same back as I can almost guarantee you're an evolutionist, with the idea that though it's a "theory" somehow in your mind it's a fact, even though it's an unproven one.

There is actually an interesting philosophical point embedded in your question - omniscience and omnipotence are mutually incompatible! An all-knowing god can not, by definition, be all-powerful. How can he change his omniscient mind? If he knows something is going to happen, then how can he change it? Because if he changes it, he must have known he was going to change it, therefore it wasn't going to have happened anyway, so he couldn't have know it was going to happen! Etc etc!
Following on from this, if you believe in an all-powerful god, you must also believe that everything has been foreseen, and is therefore unchangeable. So everyone's fate is sealed already. I am either going to heaven or hell, and no amount of evangelism or preaching can change that, so why don't true believers just shut up and leave everyone alone?
And while I'm ranting - having read some of the previous answers, I have to ask, what sort of loving 'protector' god sits on his almighty **** and just watches people being herded into gas chambers, dying in tsunamis, starving, rotting of disease and so on? This is a guy you want to worship????

If Bush is not everywhere to watch everyone everywhere like a CCTV controller but most believe that most are being watched and are under surveillance one way or another under his stewardship, so why can't the creator, the best of the Planners, Omnipotent Almight God with a lot many resources can do that. Allah created Angels and other means just to watch and log your account that you have to account for on the day of judgement even if you do not believe in it.

maybe you shouldn't ask who but rather why. there are many people in the world who need to believe that someone is keeping an eye on them and making sure that they'll be ok. I'm not a religious person at all but I've been to numerous little villages in the world where religion is the basis of their community's existence. if believing that someone is always watching them makes their lives a little easier and leads them to believe that someone cares, so be it.

If you can make a difference by either harming humanity, or helping humanity to achieve global peace, then you are the observer!

If s/he/it exists then s/he/it is a pervert and a sad one at that. (Seeing all the troubles we're in and not lending a hand). But I think it's the incredibly big human ego that created that concept! How amazingly boring. Can you imagine? Watching us all the time? Like we're special! Well...we're not.

absolutely. he's got an infinate number of screens and video tape evidence to present to us when we get to the pearly gates, therefore his ruling whether to grant us access or not is based on fact. but we'll still have to wait outside at a podium manned by st peter who will stroke his long white beard thoughtfully as the evidence is considered and our issue of wings/forked tail dependant on the decision. if you're really good you get a harp and a cloud to sit on.

Yes,he is watching over us not to punish us but help us. (Psalms 14:2)
It may be incomprehensible how can He watch all people at once...but the thought is the same as the speed of light or sound or the distance of the moon from the earth...you dont really know how much nor can you comprehend it but you accept it.
