In fact, it would be best if you described your god in such a way that its existence is in no way empirically-testable, that way, you can make up whatever attributes for that god you might need. This is useful for winning dick-measuring contests against followers of other gods. It is also useful against non-believers who doubt the existence of your god. You can use their superior intellectual integrity against them by forcing an eventual stalemate in any argument, because they are crippled by being unable to justify alleged knowledge entirely on the basis of knowledge they invent (but call it 'faith', because it sounds more legitimate).
Remember, if they can't disprove the existence of your god, that proves he's real!
Also, don't forget that all expressions of faith are equal and relative likelihood is irrelevant. An atheist trusting on faith that the sun will still exist in 24 hours is precisely the same as trusting on faith that your god created the entire universe.
Yeah well I came up with a religion on these forums and what did you do - you bastard? Only come up with a rival to challenge it. We could've had something. Could've made it big time.
Ruined. Ruined I tell you.
