They say God is everywhere at all times and He knows absolutely everything and Dake is so far off the track he hopes to save people from believing his distorted teachings? I couldn't help myself I had to say something!

God cannot be everywhere at the same time as I was taught in the Catholic Church as a child, and I have also learnt God does not automaticly know absolutely everything that is going on throughout the entire universe. God sends His emissaries, angels throughout His vast universe who report to Him all they see and find.
For example, God was told about Sodom and God said;
Genesis 18:21, I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.
If God knew before hand why would He say the above?
God and two angels went to Sodom to be met by Abraham, and after eating with him, (So, Spirit beings can eat food, so they must have mouths, teeth. lips, etc), and God told Abraham why they were there.
Abraham asked God if there be righteous men there would He destroy the city? God replied;
Genesis 18:23, And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
24, Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?
25, That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
26, And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.
27, And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:
28, Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it.
29, And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty’s sake.
30, And he said unto him, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.
31, And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty’s sake.
32, And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten’s sake.
If God knew for sure what was going on in Sodom, why would He feel the need to go there to see if it was true?
If God knew there would be no righteous people there why would He debate with Abraham, “IF I FIND TEN THERE I WONT DESTROY IT,” instead of saying Abraham, I know there are no righteous there, I am all knowing! I am just amusing you!
God went to Sodom, saw for Himself it was as He was told, and after that He rained down fire and brimstone from Heaven and destroyed the city.
Going by fundamental Christianity’s teaching, God knew all along, knew there were no righteous there, but went to all the trouble going there, having a meal with Abraham, checking to see if there were in fact any righteous people there just to amuse and entertain Abraham and or He had nothing better to do?
I don’t believe that for one minute.
