blackleaf's discussion about omniscience almost sounds like a description of god as an AI program with the ability to overwrite itself.

Prophecy is impossible in a world of millions of humans if he cannot predict what they are going to do. And you can throw God's plans out the window too, because they are worthless without omniscience.

For a god that is not omniscient, a plan might work for humans as long as he knows everything about humans and his lack of knowledge is about a part of the universe far from earth.

I'm curious about a God that is not omniscient.  Isn't that part of the definition?

I think that only actually pertains to what's called a theistic God (capital G). Other gods (lower case g)can have limitations, but a theistic type of God must be perfect in every way.
