Real God

[Mystic]

Our identity has no tangible form. Even if souls don't exist, what is being made by the mind and the concept of self has no tangible physical form. What we perceive of it and our experience of it is something else entirely even if it is created by a physical components and the brain. God is like an identity except he isn't created by physical components. Just like you can detect your identity, believers believe God can be detected spiritually.

This doesnt really answer my question, unless you're also saying our minds exist in a separate dimension...

I do believe our identities exist in a separate dimension (spiritual realm) but that is besides the point I was trying to make. I'm saying God is a disembodied identity. You own detection or concept of yourself is non-material even if it what creates is material. Even if the mind is what creates it and you exist in the mind, the very creation of the identity is non-material. So in the same way you can detect your identity, believers believe God can be detected through faith.

Doesn't matter. What believers believe is entirely irrelevant.

We are discussing point of views, he was asking how God would be distinguished from some non-existing being. I was showing the theistic side of it. It doesn't have to be agreed upon or proven, it's just narrating the other side, and is a counter point to the point he was making (seems like it was a rhetorical question).
