If you learned that the god of [insert religion] is real, would all bets be off?

If god turned out to be real, I'd assume that scriptures (and theists themselves) got many, many, many, many things wrong about god

For starters, I'd assume that the real god is much, much weaker than theists like to believe their god is

I'd be pretty confident that any real-life god cannot create a married bachelor

Only the god in theists' imaginations can do absurd things like that, and defy logic on whim

If God created the universe, I’m fairly confident that he could - as mentioned before - simply change the meaning of ‘bachelor’. JRR Tolkien (not remotely godlike) changed the meaning of countless words and invented new ones. It’s not that difficult.

But even that probably wouldn’t be necessary, situationally speaking. Suppose Joe, a married man, is having it off with a woman to whom his isn’t married and who doesn’t know that he has a wife. To his wife, Joe is married. To his girlfriend, Joe is a bachelor. Joe is, therefore, a married bachelor. 

Kindly call me ‘God’.
