If there is no difference between my imaginary god and the one in the book, then does that mean that the one in the book is also imaginary ?
Are there any significant differences in their attributes or in our ability to detect their attributes ?
They can just say their god is real, hence there is a difference (in their eyes).
Yes, but everything they would say about the reality of their god, I could say the same about my imaginary one. There is nothing real about their "real" god.
It's only a claim.
I can claim my imaginary god is actually real.
I can create an imaginary painting and then as a grand coincidence, an actual painting that matches my imaginary one could exist.
We still circle back around to providing evidence of this "real" status.
