Can it be said that the Christian God doesn't exist though? I think it can because once you define a god you then have something to work with. The CHRISTian God obviously depends on the claims about Jesus being true, and we all know how that ends.
Well, I think that is probably workable, but you then need to construct an argument to proove why the Christian God cannot exist, but why bother asserting that something doesn't exist when rejecting the claim is good enough? The Christian God isn't so well defined that you could construct an argument against it. Within the religion there is much debate even about the triune nature of God, as well as whether it wants us to be baptized. Why bother arguing against such a noodly concept?
