I think debating the existence or non-existence of GOD is somewhat futile. We simply cannot determine the truth of the matter.
I agree. This is not an ontological issue. If someone tells me he believes that God exists, I'll accept that as a personal matter entirely unto him, so long as he will accept my personal belief that, for me, God does not exist. Hence God is not ontological enough to have an existence, not in the philosophical sense, as His being or non-being is only a matter of personal judgement. Ontology deals with matters of existence that can be commonly verified using philosophical principles.
