Does any god have any verifiable properties, beyond what you'd expect of an imaginary being?

    Gods tend to follow the Three Laws of Imaginary Gods:

    First Law: Within stories, legends, and realms of the imagination, imaginary gods may do anything and have any properties, including things that conflict with laws of logic, physics, or any other laws.

    Second Law: Outside of stories, legends, and realms of the imagination, imaginary gods never affect the real world except via the agency of real persons or natural processes, nor communicate information unavailable to and unimaginable by real persons.

    Third Law: Real persons may give imaginary gods credit for anything occurring in the real world, even when such involvement would conflict with the Second Law.

    For whatever reason, every god worshipped anywhere in the world obeys these three laws of imaginary gods.

    I love it when atheists think they're smart with their questions but actually only reveal their ignorance.

    Firstly, on a purely superficial level the question seems reasonable with even a hint of logic, except, of course, it isn't and it hasn't. Let's start by asking, if there were a god would He be compelled to give verifiable properties of Himself to the things He made? Stepping back further, if He is omnipresent, ominiscient and omnipotent is it even possible for a mind so small as be constrained in the space between two ears to comprehend?

    Secondly, to even attempt to answer the question, we have to agree that God would want us to have verifiable properties in the sense to which atheists refer. Clearly, people of faith don't have this issue and it's entirely plausible that the divinve being is happy for those who demand evidence to have none and those who only want truth (no matter what it is) to have evidence.

    Thirdly, your question quite remarkable requires answers to compare what WE might expect in terms of verifiable properties of god and an imaginary being. I'm going to assume that your not so foolish to claim that anyone has any empirical evidence upon which to base their answer (be it theist or atheist) but that leaves the HUGE problem that the questions is meaningless (like most of the logic used in atheist claims)... oh dear!

    Yes, He loves.

    Zeus lusted, but did not love. Santa has a thing for making toys, but he does not seem to love children-he just gives them stuff. Loki played tricks and murdered his brother, but he did not love. The Easter bunny gives out eggs for no discernible reason-he's a rabbit. The Tooth Fairy just has a thing for teeth and is willing to pay for them. Brownies clean houses and make shoes, but they don't seem to care much for people.

    Imaginary beings seem to have a lot of odd behaviors, but they don't really care about us very much or want to be with us. Jesus said that He is there whenever two or three gather in His Name. Santa can't be bothered. He only shows up after we have gone to sleep.

    He has a glorified body of flesh, and a beard. And he is literally worst than hitler! He killed EVERY human and animal except for a semi-large boat with a few survivors, because he didn't like his old creations. Apparently god isn't perfect either as christians claim.

    Yes! Not even a human genius could have written the bible through Holy Spirit-inspired people like God did!

    2 Timothy 3:16

    All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,

    The human mind is a property of God.

    He owns it.

    You cannot escape the matrix.

    No matter how hard you try or how much effort you put.

    12 So, then, brothers, we are under obligation, not to the flesh to live in accord with the flesh; 13 for if YOU live in accord with the flesh YOU are sure to die; but if YOU put the practices of the body to death by the spirit, YOU will live. 14 For all who are led by God’s spirit, these are God’s sons. 15 For YOU did not receive a spirit of slavery causing fear again, but YOU received a spirit of adoption as sons, by which spirit we cry out: “Abba, Father!” 16 The spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are God’s children. 17 If, then, we are children, we are also heirs: heirs indeed of God, but joint heirs with Christ, provided we suffer together that we may also be glorified together

    by which spirit we cry out: “Abba, Father!”

    by which spirit we cry out: “Abba, Father!”

    : heirs indeed of God, but joint heirs with Christ

    . 36 And he went on to say: “Abba, Father, all things are possible to you; remove this cup from me. Yet not what I want, but what you want.”

    Something is scientifically verifiable if it can be tested and proven to be true. Verifiable comes from the verb verify, "authenticate" or "prove," from the Old French verifier, "find out the truth about." The Latin root is verus, or "true." Definitions of verifiable.

    Maybe I was wrong

    23 Nevertheless, the hour is coming, and it is now, when the true worshipers will worship the Father with spirit and truth, for, indeed, the Father is looking for suchlike ones to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit, and those worshiping him must worship with spirit and truth

    31 And so Jesus went on to say to the Jews that had believed him: “If YOU remain in my word, YOU are really my disciples, 32 and YOU will know the truth, and the truth will set YOU free.

    15 “I request you, not to take them out of the world, but to watch over them because of the wicked one. 16 They are no part of the world, just as I am no part of the world. 17 Sanctify them by means of the truth; your word is truth.
