They said if that were the case, not that people believed it.

I.e.: their beliefs overall would be more credible if we assume they're wrong about this part.

Not personally agreeing or disagreeing.

No, I got that. There's just no way to have this definition of God within the Abrahamic context. Literally, God said to Abraham, "I am the one true God, and I can do anything. Including making your barren wife bear a child. And now you all need to cut off your foreskin to show that you believe me. And that will be our covenant."

This why these religions are so prone to fascism and general hate. Anyone who isn't with our god is against us.

ETA: And by "our god" in the last sentence, I mean the very specific definition these very specific groups have decided to use for ole foreskin-wanting dude.
