When things are placed in these areas they can safely be dismissed as mythical, that is both my reasoned and gut feeling on the matter. You will keep coming back telling me what I should believe with your arguments which, have no evidence for them.
In fact I even concede it. I think GotG is false. People who make such appeals are wrong.
I only believe in things that have proof for them and your god has none. Ah but you will say "this is not evidence against god" it kinda is. when all the things we have been able to check that were once attributed to god have turned out to have a non-god answer then the it seems obvious that its just a fantasy sop for the ill educated and easily fobbed off.
I am repeating myself, but then so are you.
That is the ONLY half assed explanation theists are allowed to cite for their god as far as I'm concerned. Their god supposedly exists in a reality or dimension that we don't have access to (if there were a 4 dimensional being, it would be able to see us, but not us it, UNLESS it wanted us to see it)
But even then, the argument falls victim to special pleading fallacy. The goal posts have to be moved and the rules of our reality changed in a special circumstance to make their god viable. Which, in my book, makes it total nonsense until evidence of some kind can be found.
