No, it's not. Because an imaginary - or rather, mythical - Jahvé is a
contradiction in terms, based on the onthological argument.

Moreover, somebody insists here that we do not have a 100% certainty
that the Flying Spaghetti Monster does not exist. True.

But the Flying Spaghetti Monster is not claimed to "exist out of the
world", so it may well be flying around somewhere. An entity which
exists but is not part of everything that exists (being the cause of,
out of, and chronologically prior to all that) is a second
contradiction in terms.
