Ooh... I see you changed the words. On this new and unrelated topic I must agree with you.

I notice you've been saying this a lot lately, but that whenever you do you fail to detail exactly what it is about your god that's logical and consistent with a realistic worldview. Could you? It's kind of hard to consider it when it's just a bare assertion.
It's a complex subject I think. Perhaps not though.
If you start to think about a god and how that might work, you are forced to make certain conclusions.
I think the starting point is creation/ first cause, and a creator god. To create, god has to be a positive force. A negative force cannot create. A god cannot be created or it is not god. So a god must be timeless. A positive, originating force has to also be good, as good entails this.
And so on.
