That seems to be quite the overstatement but how is that even relevant? People are fallible.
I asked three children to describe their father to me, none of their descriptions were identical ergo their father does not exist. Non-sequitur.
Nope.
I made no value judgement as the truth claims of the god(s).
Merely stated a fact that every believer believes in a different version of whatever god it is they worship.
Faith is a personal thing, so it almost goes without saying that imagining a manifestation of that faith is also true. Indeed, one of those descriptions imagined by someone could be true. Who knows?
It's easily testable. Like you said, ask anyone what their god 'is' and you'll get a different reply for every person you ask.
So when you ask if its relevant, I think it actually is the most truthful and accurate answer that can be given to the OP.
As to truth claims, well, I'll just say that tangible evidence is much better than no evidence at all.
Also, good to see you back around. It's been a long time. Hope you're well
