My imaginary god
December 18, 2021 at 1:47 am
I'm going to create an imaginary god that has all the attributes of the classical god Yahweh (YHWH)
That fellow that is defined as all powerful, all knowing, etc etc
If there is no difference between my imaginary god and the one in the book, then does that mean that the one in the book is also imaginary ?
Are there any significant differences in their attributes or in our ability to detect their attributes ?

He doesn't need a book, he needs a twitter, facebook and youtube account.

You got it backwards. Because the bloodgod is real, so is yours.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

They can just say their god is real, hence there is a difference (in their eyes).

Any god can be brought to life by imagining the god enough, get yourself some incense and some candles.

Yes, but everything they would say about the reality of their god, I could say the same about my imaginary one. There is nothing real about their "real" god.
It's only a claim.
I can claim my imaginary god is actually real.
I can create an imaginary painting and then as a grand coincidence, an actual painting that matches my imaginary one could exist.
We still circle back around to providing evidence of this "real" status.
