If the existence of a personal God described in the Torah, Bible, and Quran is impossible (as opposed to highly unlikely)?

i go with impossible-could be wrong but that is what i think-goes for every other 'god' also-the thought of a god always brings to my mind the question of why-why would a god do anything-----just my thoughts--smile and enjoy the day

I'd like to say "impossible". That's what I really really want to say. But, if I get past the gut reaction, for specificities sake.. I would call that God, or any other religions God, highly improbable. Just as improbable as the celestial teapot, the FSM or the Abominable Snowman. None of which can be disproved, but all of which seem only to exist in the imaginations of those who really want them to be real.

That god is logically impossible. For the others, it depends on the definition as to whether it's impossible or just highly unlikely. Bible-God is impossible. The Easter Bunny is highly unlikely.

Well, THAT particular concept of God is a logical contradiction, so would be impossible. This is not to say that all concepts of God are, which I find to be highly improbable.

Technically, it's improbable....any scientific mind recognizes that an issue is not closed until it's closed.
Realistically.....it's completely impossible. I could easily say I worship Thor, God of Thunder, and he carries a hammer. The christian god died nailed to a cross....coincidence? My God wins. See how silly it sounds.

The Abrahamic, Judeo-Christian-Islamic deity Yahweh is logically impossible.

You're playing semantics...A personal God can exist because it's personal...In other words you can have God without need for the Judea-Christian-Islamic concepts you're describing. That's why everyone has their own individual path to God (of course Religions assume there is one) and points as further evidence that Jesus is FALSE. PEACE!

Hmm books passed down through oral tradition for centuries before being transcribed and canonized. I'd say if the God of Earth's words are contained within it, they have been distorted by the motivations of men. I don't see how that points blame to God though.

About as likely as Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and Shiva.
