what I was trying to say what you call "positive" and "negative" are a function of language ..... In Russian(?) and English theism is positive (existance) and atheism is negative (non existance) ...... but in a hypothetical language (or perhaps culture) it could be the other way round?

I agree I can't prove or disprove Thor or Zeus or any other theistic god .....I think theistic gods are highly unlikely..... I have had 'a proof' explained to me regarding the impossibility of theistic gods (the proof should work for "revealed" fairies and the like aswell). I have attached the post/explanation ...see if you agree? ....

I'm not sure I agree with the 'proof' and of course this says nothing about a deistic god.
