Good point.

But to ascertain the truth requires there to be a method for doing so.

In the case of an invisible god, you need faith. Faith isn't a criterion that leads one through reason to truth. It is a kind of assertion in spite of the lack of evidence. It is, by definition, not based in reason.

If truth is not ascertainable through reason, it may be true but one cannot derive it for what it is.

Therefore, from the perspective of establishing truth, god is a bit of a non-starter.

No greater love has a man than that he would lay down his life for his friends. Not easy. The thing about loving God is not obviously dependent on your belief system, it's dependent on whether or not there is a God and who he is. The truth does't need you to believe it to be true.
