As I said at the time, it hadn't been clear when I wrote the comment that you meant, specifically, the God of the Abrahamic religions when you talked about God.
I've since read your comments elsewhere about Mormonism, which made it clearer that there's a specific denomination's traditional beliefs about the universe you're looking to defend, and not just beliefs in the existence of a God more generally.
And, sure, given that you're looking for compelling arguments that defend your pre-existing beliefs, including specific claims about God's values as well as God's existence, history, powers, personality, relationships to particular human beings, and so forth, then it makes sense to reject ideas that seem inconsistent with those epistemic pre-commitments.
That's quite a given, though.
If you do assume that God can (and does) just reach in and tweak our minds directly, then being "convinced" takes on a sort of strange meaning. Unless we're assuming that you remain in normal control of your own mind, the concepts of "choice," "opinion," and "me" sort of start to disappear.
I'm trying to talk about a deity in general, but you're right, it often turns into the God we're all familiar with. A radically different deity could uproot every part of the way we think about things, even logic and reason itself....
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
