I simply risen all thought up characters to your friends level to demonstrate that they are all the same and that your claims held no weight and so I rejected them.You have not demonstrated that they are the same. If they were the same, all you would need to do would be to address the notion of God my argument actually arrives at.
You have specifically demonstrated that all the characters you have thought up to be "the same" are not the same, because you have to invoke your spatiotemporal "characters", viewpoint X, and ridicule them, instead of addressing my viewpoint Y. The ontological inequivalence between the viewpoint X you attack, and my viewpoint Y of a transcendent God is obvious: your characters, viewpoint X, are all spatiotemporal beings, composed of matter, impure actuality, members of the universe, whereas my viewpoint Y which you haven't actually addressed, of a transcendent God is exactly totally void of potentiality, and is actus purus, and totally void of space, time and matter.
Just another example, yet again, of your intellectual bankruptcy. Appealing to fallacious tactics by attacking viewpoint X, instead of my actual viewpoint Y, and claiming to thereby debunk viewpoint Y, even though you have only attacked a caricature of your own imagination.
The people who are the most bigoted are the people who have no convictions at all.
