Frodo himself is guilty of the same dismissal of entities with no evidence, except his deity is protected by lapse in reasoning where it suddenly had to be disproven.
It's a simple reversal of burden of proof, due to cognitive dissonance, and the same magical thinking demonstrated by every superstitious belief in the supernatural worldwide.
So I've given you good reason why the concept if God is different to myths. But you ignore, not challenge that reasoning. Noted.
Let's say all non temporal entities are equal. Where is the need to prove existence? My belief certainly never demands it. Quite the opposite: it claims that objective proof cannot exist.
Where does this leave your objection? Completely destroyed.
Casper the ghost haunts me, playing tricks on me while nobody is looking. You can't prove he doesn't exist because he's invisible, immaterial, and intentionally hiding.
