Reading this, I thought of Dumbo. Dumbo thought he could fly because a magic feather gave him that ability. We can tell Dumbo that the feather doesn't have any effect, but we cannot tell him that the feather does not exist.

The arguments here don't seem to me addressed to the existence of a creator, but as to His status as an authority, His worshipability, His interest in what goes on Here. Does the incoherence of religion refute Joyce's God of the creation, an artist who "remains within or behind or beyond or above his handiwork, invisible, refined out of existence, indifferent, paring his fingernails"?

Is the atheist content only to dismiss God the lawgiver?
