Yeah, I got you mixed up with Godschild on who proposed God D when they shouldn't have. I still see no problem with my example of God B or how you think there is some problem, everyone else except the theists seem to be getting it here. Adding a God D violates the challenge by the way, bit obfuscating too.

Wouldn't verifying god to any demonstrable degree be Nobel Prize worthy? Who got the Nobel Prize for discovering god again?...
Who got the Nobel Prize for discovering god again?...Obviously you have terrible criteria for verification or detection if you think any god has been verified let alone your particular one (and which sect is the right one anyway). But seriously, what do you have? personal experience? because you sure as hell don't have scientific verification.

Anyway...let's put this to rest.
A is a necessary being.
B is a unnecessary being.
C is a nonbeing.
Done.
Hey look, Chad came by to duck the challenge of differentiation between God B and God C again.

There's a very old self-contradictory book of dubious origin, that doesn't line up with the historical record and posits God A, but the empirical way God A manifests in the book doesn't line up with reality as observed today.
Good point, God A and God B would be eerily similar as B and C are.
If the hypothetical idea of an afterlife means more to you than the objectively true reality we all share, then you deserve no respect.
