I kind of subscribed to that line of thought before my deconversion. That if we believe in a god with unlimited power, he has the power to create a universe that’s already 13 billion years old. But if God did that, then he’d be presenting a 6,000 year old universe as a 13 billion year old one. And doing so would make him a liar. But God doesn’t tell lies? And a god capable of lying is not a god worth following. But a god that is incapable of lying is limited in his abilities. And a god limited in his capabilities is not worth following.
Nah it wouldn’t make him a liar- it isn’t necessarily an attempt to fool humans, in my opinion any God capable of doing something like that did it for their own reasons, not as some cosmic prank
If God was real he would probably be a massive pervert, considering he’s just watching us while we don’t have clothes on all the time. Bit of a weirdo.

Why is a god simply being capable of lying not worth following? If he’s capable and chooses not to, isn’t that a better god than one who can’t lie?
Well this god installed thirteen billion years of red-shifted light from the furthest visible stars. Last Tuesday.
If God is to be regarded as an authority figure, punishes you for telling lies, and can himself lie, God is to be trusted no more than the police.
In fact, we should be challenging God like we do with the police.
Which kind of explains a lot about this country.
Being able to lie doesn’t make you a liar or untrustworthy. Lying does.

I mean according to some religions he was the one who told people to put some clothes on in the first place
