You God is outside science, logic, observation, testability, you-name-it your God "transcends" it.God is not outside of logic nor testability. But that God is the creator of all things in our world and therefore transcends them all is a biblical doctrine which is present from Genesis 1 to the New Testament, and so the fact that I am a Christian would be enough to tell you that I affirm this doctrine.

He is pure energy and we use 'spaghetti' only as a description of his noodly appendages and 'flying' also as a descriptor because he 'transcends' our understanding.Flying and spaghetti are attributes of created beings composed of matter within the universe. That stands in direct contradiction to transcendence, and so, your FSM doctrine of god, if it involves transcendence, is logically incoherent.
