Yes, Dale, I know you're a UU, but that's immaterial to the point I was making about the doctrine of the Trinity.
God counts as an imaginary friend whether you'd say so or not...unless you can provide evidence otherwise.  If I am not going to allow Odin, Thor, Zeus, Cthulhu, Amaterasu, Shiva, Ganesh (regrettably), Hanuman (also regrettably), Inanna, or any of the other multitude of purported deities to pass for given, I'm certainly not going to do it for any prospective, undefined, unevidenced entity. That would be disrespectful in the extreme, to make an exception for something more familiar simply because I'd grown up hearing about it. (I am not agnostic about leprechauns, nor about unicorns, dragons, qiling, or flying monkeys. Why should I blindly accept Bigfoot without plenty of evidence?)
Frankly, I'd settle for someone making a sincere effort to prove the supremacy of Ganesh. He's supposed to be laid back and fond of parties, so if we must have a deity we could do worst.
