The approach here however, is that it is definitely impossible to tell truth from fiction when someone tells you God has infinite aspects.
Therefore the concept of declaring the truth of God MUST be, on some level, a lie or exaggeration of human origin.
Either they are lying about God talking to them, or if God talks to them, they are lying when they say they KNOW God is infinite.
Faith in God requires an absolute declaration of an abstract as fact, not "maybe", not "probably", but "IS", and therein by default, must involve a human exaggeration or falsehood. Best case scenario, reliance on absolute faith in a person NOT lying.
This is not so much about disproving God, but disproving the rationale on why you should have Faith. Its not faith in God, its faith, in an ancient person who believed what he was told by another human. Not divine inspiration.
My target is very much the fault of divine inspiration, rather than divine truth.

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
