Most importantly it needs to be able to interfere in human affairs and also give a fuck so as to be inclined to do that. The Spanish flu epidemic of 2018, the Tsunami of 2004, congenital birth defects, childhood cancers, paedophiles etc etc etc are overwhelming evidence that such an entity does not exist.
I didn't claim my list of features is exhaustive, this is off-topic, as I said. And you should try better than simply invoking the problem of evil, as *overwhelming evidence*. There is extensive theodicy literature addressing each of your concerns,.
It's not off topic, as you said God and then described something which does not necessitate nor even imply the existence of God as any religious tradition describes it.
My bold - Citation please? I consider myself to be at least relatively well read - I wonder how come I don't remember hearing an explanation for why God allows cot deaths, paedophilia etc etc etc...PLEASE ENLIGHTEN ME/US!!!
