I know those things because they are logical conclusions, aka, if god exists he certainly is within the boundaries of these conclusions.
These people you have met are religions people, and know nothing about god. I am not a religions person, I am looking at the concept of god from an entirely logical point of view: If he exists, he is obviously not omnipotent, and its obvious that either he doesnt have power to end evil on earth, doesnt wants to or both, because evil on earth is still here. That can be applied to anything he is not doing, and that actually works for people and what they are not doing as well. Beyond that, I dont think there is anything else we can conclude about god.
..oooh, yearh ..logic! Albert Nobel invented dynamite to end all wars, as he logically concluded people would get scared and not dare wage wars again.
In times of old we concluded the earth was flat, as it couldn't possible be round as people would fall off the earth.
If you are a witch, you will float, if you are innocent, you will sink.
..uhmm ..yearh, logic is soo infallible.
