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

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’.

Fine, how about this, God:

Could such a god cause the square root of two to become a rational number?

If your answer is that he can simply change the definition of rational numbers to include irrational numbers, then it seems like we're just playing games here.

Can I please just make a caveat and say that redefining words doesn't count? Defining a pizza as being the same as a calzone doesn't mean it actually is. The underlying facts don't change just because you change definitions around.

If god is all-knowing and only tells the truth, then god knows that Joe is married and thus not a bachelor. Just because one person thinks he's married and another person thinks he's a bachelor doesn't mean he's a married bachelor. If that's how this worked, then that means I could be an admin of atheistforums just because I think I am.

In fact, I would be an admin and not an admin at the same time, because some people think I am and some people think I'm not.

What people think should be irrelevant, because facts are facts
