 Your mind will be blown, but God's omniscience does not require logic: He is omniscient.

This is where you lose pretty much every atheist and agnostic. Logic isn't something that you can just "not require" when it's inconvenient. What you are effectively saying is "God doesn't make sense... but it's OK, because he doesn't have to".

Logic is how one converts facts into knowledge. It allows you to identify inconsistencies. It isn't just a theory, and it isn't restricted in its application.

What you are basically doing is poorly rationalising the fact that you have two beliefs that are inconsistent with each other, because if either one were false, it would topple your entire belief system. Stop and think about it - two of the foundations of your entire belief structure cannot possibly both be true simultaneously. This doesn't mean that most of your belief structure is wrong, it just means that you might need to reconsider your beliefs slightly to address the inconsistency.
