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.

demonstratable only for God to human i dont think God is demonstratable human-human but God- human demonstratable but on an individual basis and cannot be demonstrated by the human to other humans . yes demonstratable to individuals but at the same time cannot demonstrate to others so yes that is why i say its fruitless the discussion for people who God has not demonstrated to , but for those who do know what im talking about it would be productive because no demonstration is needed since they already believe . it depends on if your having the conversation with someone who does or does not believe in God.
Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today   FSM Grin   Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you will join us And the world will be as one  - John Lennon

The easy confidence with which I know another man's religion is folly teaches me to suspect that my own is also  - Mark Twain
