And you also haven't displayed how his logic can possibly be screwy, considering he is being hypothetical about something that no one can know the mind of, and no one has any evidence of, that being "God".

How is what's in the Bible logic about God at all? It just makes a bunch of unsubstantiated claims. If there is a God, what "logic" have we got to go by that it would be the Biblical one? The Bible makes unsubstaniated claims, and so any old hypothesizing and speculation is equally valid or invalid, until a reason is given that it's not.
How does any theological reference substantiate any of the claims about God in the Bible? How does it deal with reality in any way at all? How can it actually explain God? How can it be a proper subject, if there are not any means by which the reality of God's existence, can actually be studied? Because if there's no reason to believe that God exists, then there's no reason to believe that Theology is anything more than speculation, and any guess is as good as any other...until there's actually some evidence.
