So, sum total, you're saying that philosophers of religion believe because they engage in special pleading to get separate epistemic standards for God?

(Please note that my actual current position is strong agnosticism: "God may exist, but if so, He's plainly hiding, and no God worthy of the name would be incapable of hiding from me, so I cannot know if such a God exists or not.")

I've got a variant of that. "Assuming God exists, He seems to be going to some trouble to hide. Either He doesn't want to be found, in which case the polite thing is to respect that, or He's doing some screwy reverse-psychology thing, in which case I have better things to do with my time than engage an omnipotent troll."
