You can't seem to make up your mind as to whether or not god is demonstrable. I guess god is both demonstrable and not demonstrable simultaneously. He's special anyway, the usual rules don't apply. Is that something I can add to the list of things that deists/theists believe? A thing can be both "x" and "not x" at the same time. 
How would knowledge regarding god even be possible, in that case? If I told you that an object was red -and- not red....what color is it, based upon the information I gave? Can you see why discussing god in such a way might not be all that fruitful? Why calling god demonstrable, or presenting -any- information about god as a possible fact, in that case...... is fantasy? If a thing can be both x and not x there is no such thing as a fact to begin with. Truth becomes an empty term.
