People have said that God is everywhere. That would mean that God is in you. That particulate matter is in you that is divine, that is everlasting, that is part of all knowing. If you perish from this mortal life and God is in you as I have stated, as has been related to me by people who seem to make more sense than others in my life....people who sometimes call themselves pagans, also believing in multiplicity of God in infinite places,.....if you die from this mortal life with God in you, then how can God separate from your particulate matter? And if you say that this God of yours can do so, then you have to admit then that God is not everywhere. And if you admit that God is not everywhere, doesn't that mean that something else is just as powerful as your God and exists in all these "unrighteous" spaces that you have in your preprogrammed imagination? And so now you have 2 Gods or more that are somehow equal or what? Please explain if you have this latter opinion

I don't think so. However, you do have what is known as free will, you CAN choose to ignore God. But He will never ignore you. In the small quiet stillness of your being, He is there, waiting for you. Whether you notice in your lifetime that He is there is strictly up to you.
The second part of your question is simple, how do you think the soil of the earth is fertilized with animal and human remains if there is not some part of God regenerating life? Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. It is a part of the cycle that permeates the universe.
The third part is simple, too. We all play different roles in our lives, where do you think we learned this? We are mothers, fathers, daughters, sons, uncles, aunts, neighbor, friend, foe, healer, potter, cook, taylor, gun-smith, farmer, technician. These are all different facets of one personality, you.
I hope this helps your understanding.

God is not particulate matter. Soul is not particulate matter. Mind is not particulate matter. Ego, knowledge, etc all these are sublime elements beyond the horizons of matter. The whole of me would lay on the bed when I am dead. Not a gram of my weight would decrease on my death. Then something which went out of my body must be weightless. If weightless, it cannot be particulate matter. So God in that sublime form pervades the whole of the universe - living or non-living forms. Our souls are also sublime. And we communicate with God through this sublime soul, mind, ego, etc. These sublime elements merge in God upon the salvation of a person from the unending cycle of births and deaths and rebirths. I hope I have been able to convey myself to you. If not, you are free to mail me your further queries based on my present answer or other fresh queries. I would be delighted to share the knowledge that God in all His kindness has given me.

This is a VERY worthwhile question!
God has made beings in His likeness. The major trait we posses of God is, we are designed to live forever. God would like for every one of his creation to enjoy the life that is in God's Loving Presence versus God's presence Void of His love(I believe this is the condition more correctly put).. It appears Jesus experienced a brief moment of that void when he became Sin for us on the cross. The scripture says that God turned from His Son briefly. That is astonishing when you consider Jesus is actually PART of the Godhead. That was the first and last time that will ever happen within the Godhead. But it tells us something about the importance of Jesus act. It is said that God turning from Jesus was actually more unbearable than the Crucifixion itself. So maybe that is a glimpse of what hell will be like - a place void of God's Love.

You make perfect sense, and I doubt you will get reasonable argument (apart from abuses, that is) from some people. God is indeed everywhere, and as Soul, in everyone. No one can separate himself/herself from Soul because Soul is the real person, not the physical body.

God is not IN me, I AM my own god. I control my actions and take responsibility for them, I decide my own personal morality, I make my own rules for my life, and I am responsible for my own happiness.
There is no external force that gives me strength as a "reward" for following outdated rules.
