This doesn’t preclude a God who exists, but didn’t create the universe, and takes no interest in it.

@Emosaur As in, God as imagined by monotheistic religions. Although, lesser deities like the Greek or Norse gods are just as unlikely.

@Emosaur I've seen this simplified as the following, which no theist, including the loudmouth cretins on SW, has ever satisfactorily answered.

An omnicient god would know what proof I need to believe in him.

An omnipotent god would be capable of supplying that proof.

A benevolent god would want to.

@LeopoldBloom And guess what? He provided all that and more for me. Maybe it is just not your time yet?

@Silverwings So you’re saying that my salvation is up to God. That would be hard Calvinism. According to the doctrine of Persistence of the Saints, I could be saved right now if God wants me to be saved, regardless of whether I believe in him or not.

Those gods are at least logically consistent. In many cases they can be seen as personifications of natural phenomena so, in that respect, they are real.
