There are no gods that exists who are supernatural. That will eventually become established fact!... No gods would be accountable if they could act upon their own whims. Who could trust such gods? ..... Constancy rules!
Theistic belief in the supernatural simply cannot be justified. But believing that an Intelligent Being has programmed a purpose to existence is a totally different matter. That, however, demands for a natural explanation.
