Because if and when God does reveal Himself and can be "proven" it will be done so in the manor in which the "federation" Identifies and classifies all "q". We will see them/Him as alien/Trans-dimensional being. With power or the technology to "create."
The idea that God has to be a zeus like character sitting in the clouds is beyond stupid. People often times 'canonize' aspects of God never mentioned in the bible. they steal from other religions and graft them onto Christianity and when those 'grafts' fail they believe the cannon of Christianity has failed. Again a lazy reason not to believe, because you have not even established or understand who/what God claims to even be. In short you or your religion of choice create a strawman and then you defeat the strawman.
God doesn't change but that does not mean our understanding of Him can't.
And yet I believe in the Q thing, and still wouldn't call that a "god". That's an advanced alien.
A deist "god" one that creates but does not give a shit about us as individuals or even as a race, is indistinguishable form one who does not exist.
As to the strawman complaint, how can we establish or understand something that has never shown us it exists? It seems to me you are the one inventing a form of god, one in which you CAN believe. I'm looking at all claimed forms of god (including this one), and saying none of them make sense.
You misunderstand.
What I am saying is if God ever become tangible He would be classified as a trans-dimensional alien being. If you think about it that is what He is. God is not nor ever claimed to be a Zeus type of figure or being. We did that by viewing Him and what He has done through the lens of sheer ignorance. As we understand more and can classify things where as before we could not, God would simply be reclassified differently.
