He would be in the blade of every knife used to murder, in the body of every rapist, in the teeth of every rabid dog.

God is omnipresent the way that gravity is omnipresent. There is nowhere in the physical universe where some small amount of gravity is not present. But there are specific places where it is stronger than in other places.
Hell is so far from Heaven that his presence could be best described as "the lingering memory of the God that was rejected".

Psalm 139:8
If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there:
if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
The comparative attributes of God contrast human abilities with the divine nature. Everyone has some knowledge, but only God has all knowledge (omniscience).Everyone has presence, but only God has presence at all times everywhere (omnipresence). Every person has some degree of power, but only God has unlimited power (omnipotence).
God is spirit and His presence is everywhere.

Yes, God is omnipresent.
The philosophical idea of omnipresence is that of exemption from the limitations of space, subjectively as well as objectively; subjectively, in so far as space, which is a necessary form of all created consciousness in the sphere of sense-perception, is not thus constitutionally inherent in the mind of God; objectively, in so far as the actuality of space-relations in the created world imposes no limit upon the presence and operation of God. This metaphysical conception of transcendence above all space is, of course, foreign to the Bible, which in regard to this, as in regard to the other transcendent attributes, clothes the truth of revelation in popular language, and speaks of exemption from the limitations of space in terms and figures derived from space itself. Thus, the very term "omnipresence" in its two component parts "everywhere" and "present" contains a double inadequacy of expression, both the notion of "everywhere" and that of "presence" being spatial concepts. Another point, in regard to which the popular nature of the Scriptural teaching on this subject must be kept in mind, concerns the mode of the divine omnipresence. In treating the concept philosophically, it is of importance to distinguish between its application to the essence, to the activity, and to the knowledge of God. The Bible does not draw these distinctions in the abstract. Although sometimes it speaks of God's omnipresence with reference to the pervasive immanence of His being, it frequently contents itself with affirming the universal extent of God's power and knowledge (Deuteronomy 4:39; 10:14; Psalms 139:6-16; Proverbs 15:3; Jeremiah 23:23,24; Amos 9:2).

The biblical god is actually believed to exist in a transcendent realm meaning not in this Universe, well thats obvious because you cannot see it or experience it here. Good luck going to wherever god is because thats impossible, not in your present state of existence if he's outside the Universe. Likewise he can't exist here on earth because where would he put his infinite being everything would die in his presence, he would have to limit his being but then he couldn't be god. The Jews discuss these matters, but they are nonsense

Nothing exists in itself - it exists because God holds it in existence. However, hell is a place where God holds its existence but His Divine PRESENCE is not there - it has been withdrawn. The souls in hell do not "feel" God, do not "sense" God and do not have the mercy of God "following" after them to bring them to repentance. There is no "dealing" with their soul. He is completely "absent" from them. God is still omnipresent or otherwise hell would not exist but His Divine Presence of communication, mercy, goodness, light, life, comfort have been completely and totally withheld.

No in the bible you will never find that word describing God, he is almighty and knows everything but the bible says in 1 Kings 8:39, 43, 49; 2 Crónics 6:33, 39).

Yes He is, but people don't understand this concept.
He is not some human being nor is his shape or his power defined. Our minds cannot fathom what God would actually "look like".
But since we think we are so smart, atheists hearing omnipresent automatically reject it as preposterous or stupid.
There is no God but God.

Hell is the state of being remote from God, so no, God is not in Hell.

Maybe hell could be defined as seperateness from God through choice in which case God wouldn't be there.

Yes it would. Can you give me the passage of scripture where omnipresent is used?
