Believers, please differentiate these gods.

To those who say god is real but it's actions can not be detected, I want to give you a scenario. There are 3 gods in this example...
God A, this god manifests in reality and the god's actions manifest in reality. (this god exists)
God B, this god manifests in reality but this god's actions do not manifest in reality. (this god exists)
God C, this god does not manifest in reality in any way. (this god doesn't exist)
Now please differentiate between God B and God C for me.
If the hypothetical idea of an afterlife means more to you than the objectively true reality we all share, then you deserve no respect.

Nah, wrong game show xD
So, you can't differentiate between the two then?...

I would have to choose D) because
God is real and His actions can be detected.

Actually, God A pretty much covers that. But go ahead and try to answer my challenge if you could.

No need. Only A matches my Christian beliefs.

First of all, you don't have to believe in God B or God C to do a hypothetical...ffs
Secondly, I was asking for believers who think their god is real but isn't detectable (doesn't manifest) and when I say that I mean detectable by Science. You think your god is detectable? How? sufficient evidence would be needed. Please explain how we test for god since we haven't found any demonstrable trace of such a being. Here's what I think, I think you can't differentiate between the two since you have not answered the challenge twice now and you're not able to do so in the first place.

Now please differentiate between God B and God C for me.
god B isn't much of a god if one at all
god C not existing doesn't need to be considered at all
I choose God A for Adonai meaning "my Lord"

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Why not, you're just not considering the option to avoid the hypothetical. The point of my thread is to ask how to distinguish between God B and God C.
This isn't about your opinion of what god you think is the right one, only to differentiate between B and C. But I if you think God A is the correct one, I'd like to see some demonstrable evidence of this god's manifestation.

The evidence had a name: Jesus. Maybe you heard of him. He seems to have had quite an impact on world history.
