What if God exists and doesn't exist at the same time? Can there be more than one truth?

Very good insight, I like where your head is at.

Truth is not facts, it’s not a collection of facts. Truth is a whole world. Truth is me telling you a narrative and having every aspect of that narrative be 100% spot on. If one bit of it is off, then you can look at it and classify the defect. Is it a lie? Is it insincerity? What drove you to tell something other than the complete truth?

In other words, truth is a narrative depending on a reality. the more the narrative matches the reality, the more truth the narrative contains.

God is the ultimate truth. In any context, in any situation, God is there. God is there even in the atheist point of view, because the very concept of atheism depends on God, so he’s still there.

God does not need to be real in order to exist. The opposite of God in this regard is mathematics, which is real, but does not exist. There’s nothing you can point to in this world that is mathematics, it has no referent. But it’s as real as you or I.

God can exist anywhere because you can define anything to be God, it’s a classic spiritual maxim in many traditions that God exists in the smallest grain of sand, the largest mountain. You can pick up a rock and declare it to be God, some tribal societies did just this, imbued physical objects with divinity.

Destroying the physical objects destroyed the religion that grew up around them. The Romans did this to the Jews when they razed the Temple of the Mount to the ground. The Jews that survived scattered, their religion changed forever from what it was.
