God can do anything logically possible and anything in accordance with His nature. God cannot do "anything". That is a common misconception of divine omnipotence.

It's odd, to me...
So, I reckon that, if such a being exists, it just simply does not wish us to acknowledge it... and all gods that have been worshiped by mankind have all been equally man-made.
The reasoning here is nothing less than horrid.
You essentially argue that since people have different views of who God is that therefore He does not want them to know He exists...
How does that follow? It seems to me to be a classic non-sequitur.
I'll give you some time until you understand it...
I won't stand and wait.
