When we talk about your god, we are supposed to do so "philosophically." Why? Why not treat your god just like all other objects and devise experiments to detect his presence or absence?
The classic religious response is, "god must remain hidden. If he proved his existence, that would take away faith." This is clever -- here we have an object named god that proves its existence by completely hiding its existence. Of course, in the real world, any object that provides no evidence for its existence is classified as IMAGINARY.
Even more interesting, this object called god, which is supposedly hiding its existence completely, is in the meantime supposedly writing books, answering prayers and incarnating itself. How can that be?
Could it be the reason why we can find no empirical evidence for your god's existence is not because "your god is a magical being completely able to hide from us." It is because your god is imaginary?
Hmmmmmm, yet people still believe in this fairytale?
