This often includes a 100% trust that his motives are pure. I think such a being could deceive us twenty times before breakfast. He could makes us convinced beyond all doubt that he is telling the truth, while lying through his holy ass.
Or the devil killed god long ago and has since been impersonating him. If this is the case and he has fooled everyone into thinking he is god, how could anyone tell the difference? And it would make much more sense if the bible was written by the red dude.
If I may quote Meg Ryan out of context...
"YES!! YES!! YES!!!!"
I like to ask theists, "What part of ineffable don't you understand?" My less than civil implication is they don't understand any of it but are too stupid to recognize their ignorance.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
