In other words, what would we need as evidence that God is real?That's fine. If you want to say that whatever causes things to exist exists, then go ahead. It's even fine if you want to call it God.
But if you try to go from there to Sky Daddy who clucks disapprovingly while watching teenagers masturbate, or demands that male children have the tip of their weiners chopped off, then fuck off.
The evidence that God is real depends on at least a minimal definition: that God is a sentient entity, and that there is no greater possible entity. Good luck finding evidence for that.
