I chose the first because I think it best explains how I feel about what gods I do understand.
Most people won't tell me exactly what a God is or how to identify it. As such I have no real solid idea of what they are talking about and can make no judgement one way or another. If I asked someone if they believed in kissizzlefritz, what would their response be? Clearly their first would be to ask what that was. But my only response is something so vague that it becomes nonsensical, such as "the soul of matter." The person would not be able to make a judgement because they don't know what it is. Such is my stance with God.
However some have been so kind as to provide some definitions of their gods. And those gods almost to the last one do not exist. They are impossible by their very definitions. The ones that are not are simply re-branding of physical phenomena. My dad calls the random chance of the universe God (despite my objections to him that the word carries a lot of baggage).
