In other words, god is allowed to be whatever appears, at the moment, convenient for you to claim him to be, so that you and your ilk can give yourself the maximum flexibility, by the back door, in dodging the demand for scrutinizing your religious idiocy with the sort of rigor even kindergardeners might apply to unsolicited claim of overwhelming beneficience.
.
So, because you as an Atheist are not able to recognize, the recorded nature of God (as recorded by the bible) you believe anything outside your current understanding of God avoids scrutiny, Seriously? What if.. Your current understanding of God is shakey at best, and God is simply not the being/deity you have false judged and identified? Perhaps your "scrutiny" is simply misplaced, and you are attempting to scrutinize something of your own understanding, rather than the recorded nature of God.

Because you judge God to be completely unfathomable, then no one has any hope in knowing anything about God?
God has revealed Himself, in the bible. If you wish to know something about God's revealed nature, then perhaps you should have simply asked someone who has actually studied the bible rather than cobbled together their own version of God just to take it apart.

So god can not be defined by what defines him?
What do you think Defines God?
