The unfalsifiability of the "supernatural" is what people retreat to..but not what people believe. We're absolute garbage at coming up with genuinely unfalsifiable propositions. Probably has something to do with being a meat mind in a material world. All of our referents are equally material...and so too, do we imagine god to be, even if we bullshit people for pages and pages only to shoot ourselves in the foot with a single sentence.
That doesn't even make sense because it assumes dependency when there is none. If I paint a picture, on its own that picture cannot demand anything of me. I could throw it in the trash and it would have no say in the matter. I could paint over it with a different picture and it couldn't do anything about it. The cause determines the effect, not the other way around. As such, by what power or authority would you force God to submit to your demands? Of course the predictable response is a tantrum while stating that "there is no God" Of course your whole argument puts you more at odds with the idea of deism. Maybe I should go find a hardcore deist you can go round-n-round with them about it instead. Might save me a headache.
