Them: God is spaceless, timeless and immaterial. Me: You know what also matches that description? Nothing. Literally nothing. So how do you distinguish between the two?
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: believers will tell you themselves that their god isn't real. You just have to let them describe it.
"You are more powerful than your purported god."
And more moral. Which is why you keep trying to "fix" him.

They define their god as nothing and then wonder why we don't believe it exists. 🤪
"The study of theology, as it stands in Christian churches, is the study of nothing; it is founded on nothing; it rests on no principles; it proceeds by no authorities; it has no data; it can demonstrate nothing; and it admits of no conclusion."
-- Thomas Paine
If your god was real, you wouldn’t keep defining it as not real.
It gets worse when you insist it’s undetectable, but you claim to have detected it; unknowable, but you can know it’s good; and beyond human conception, except that you keep telling us everything it’s (supposedly) done for you.
When they defend their god’s absence by defining it as non-existent.
