Otherwise your model is flawed and your deity disproven. The model for the xtian God works and is consistent.
You are not reasoning God, you are creating attributes which justify his existence. You're taking the answer (God), assuming that it cannot possibly be the wrong answer, and working backwards from that by inventing 'facts' to 'prove' the answer, coming up with whatever you can so as to avoid the conclusion that your deity doesn't exist. You're doing it completely wrong. What you should be doing is examining the facts as they are and working towards the answer, whatever it happens to be.
What you're doing isn't reasoning, it's rationalizing.
