How would we know if there was a god once but isn't anymore?

Good point. Perhaps we want our definition of God to be omni everything, but perhaps this God was only temporary. Now what?

Well, if we can't tell the difference between a god that exists and a god that doesn't exist (either because he never did exist or because he did once but now he doesn't) my conclusion is that God is of academic interest only.
