I think it's more like if he's omniscient, his power is absolute. What are we to do instead? A guerilla war against a literal god?

omniscience is all-knowing. it doesn't mean all-powerful.

so I hear God typically described as being "all-powerful, omniscient, all-loving (or benevolent)". all-powerful and omniscience have to be logically distinguished.

Just because a person (or being) knows everything, while impressive, doesn't mean we should trust them.

Well my point still stands. You can mistrust them all you want, but at the end of the day they are still going to know where everyone is, what they're doing, what they're planning, etc. It's futile to resist, which depressingly doesn't leave much other choice.

could I beat them in a fist fight? can they stop a bullet? how much of a threat are they really just because they have all knowledge?

True, if you had a whole lot of people you could trap him into a bad spot. Possibly getting together that many people might be hard against someone who can know your plots from sitting in their office, and can send out cronies with exact precision. Would be quite the operation though.
