I'm not actually saying no God can exist.  But I seriously question your ability to tell me all about it - what it can do, what it is, what it wants from us, yada yada.  I don't try to convince you there is no God because I recognize the case I could make would be as bad as yours (well, almost as bad).  Who exactly are you to think you know all about the unknowable?

The Scriptures tell us about the unknowable.  Information is more than complex, it is also functional.

If what the scripture tells us is unknowable, then the scripture must be false.

Brick is useful. His thickness is not.

Such a shining example of Christian idiocy must be buffed from time to time to retain its luster.

How to explain the fact that God at some point in time just popped in to existence? We don't know, is the answer. Same goes for quantum physics, big bang and DNA.

Of course, we know. God popped into existence when he was concocted via man's imagination.

You can take only neutral position - we don't know.

I can take a credibly positive position on the fact that for thousands of years there has been no evidence provided of god's existence outside of man's psychological desire for him to exist on the mere basis of personal comfort.

Agree. I have doubts towards pointless deist God. But I definitely live my life as if there is no brutal God of popular religions. The one who tortures those who didn't play hide&seek with that Space Asshole.

When we talk about Space Assholes, there cannot be a neutral/agnostic/pointless position. You can only choose atheistic or theistic position.
