Your easter bunny and FSM simply do not live up to the criteria of transcendence.
Oh really? God is as much a thought up character as any other and just like any other god is no more likely than santa, pink unicorn ect.ect.ect
A theists worst enemy is another god under another name that mimics their own arguments. A mirror effect.
There is a god and his name is Jad and you cannot see him nor hear him and nor can you detect him but he is there. "who I call Jad is immaterial, nonspatial, nontemporal and self subsistent rather than contingent."
"Your God simply does not live up to the criteria of transcendence."
You can easily make up a character that is beyond provable and disprovable.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
