For the record, this means:
Quote:1.
theology or knowledge of God based on observed facts and experience apart from divine revelation.
So according to Frodo's special pleading definition of supernatural flying toasters, the bogeyman, purple people eaters, and other imaginary deities exist, but cannot be proven. The majority of the OT and the NT must be discarded as impossible by definition.
God cannot exist outside of the imaginations of believers, and could not have created any part of the natural world, or the universe, because God does not, by definition, leave evidence of God's existence.
God is a supernatural concept indistinguishable from the imaginary, of which no natural evidence is possible.
As opposed to presumably more powerful entities like unicorns and leprechauns, who are capable of leaving evidence of their presence in the natural world, God is impotent and imaginary by definition.
God is, by Frodo's definition, is the invisible, intangible 2nd pull tab on cans of soda and printer toner cartridges he believes exists but cannot be disproven, who leave no impression in the material world whatever.
God is the additional second law to Occam's Razor that causes no noticeable change to any conclusion.
God is completely imaginary and impotent. You cannot prove an impotent imaginary God does not exist; therefore Frodo's God exists, and yet he has no good reason his God should exist, other than that other intangible supernatural beings do not exist, but his intangible supernatural God does exist.
Therefore, unicorns, leprechauns, Santa, the Easter Bunny, Oni, and Ghosts exist, because there is no evidence they do or do not exist.
Absence of evidence in Frodo's mind = conclusion of existence, but only for those supernatural entities he has concluded exist.
Ta-Dah. Frodo's mental illness is therefore evidence that Frodo's god exists, lacking any empirical evidence, because Frodo believes god exists, and Frodo's beliefs matter more than anyone else's. Because Frodo believes.
Ta Dah!
