To prove the non-existence of god we first need to define the word "god". When christians talk about god they mean an almighty being
Wrong. God is an almighty entity. Beings are mortal.

Ain't that the truth. Someone mentioned somewhere before that belief is beyond logic and based on faith. Therefore, this holds true.

It should also be pointed out that an omnipotent god must be either androgyne or sexless. However, in most religions god is male so I will refer to god as 'he', 'him' etc.
Most people assume the "image" of God being an old man with a big, white beard sitting on a trone. While this image may have been immortalized in paintings to give us something to identify with, this is not the true image of God. That image is that of a man, and God is not mortal.

I already know what is coming "God created people in His image". Yes indeed. But what is our "true" image? This shell of decaying flesh? Or is our image truly what is inside of us? If the latter is true, and you can conceptualize it, you are on the first step of understanding the true nature of God.

Everything god is able to do would be things that human beings also will be able to do, all his knowledge would be knowledge we will also achieve. In fact humans would be gods, which should lead to some strange kind of humanism!
Therefore, God IS omnipotent.

In fact you can if you say god stands above time and space and so on (which he indeed does if he is almighty), but to be able to prevent god from being tied to future phenomena, you must give him the quality of omnipotence so he can stand above everything.
Have you ever thought about God as the "originator" of everything? Again, that type of thought you formulated (or Googled) is tied to God as a human being bound to earthly physics and laws. God is not of this earth. Therefore, you can not explain Him with earthly logic.
