One problem with such discussions is that it's much easier to disprove
something than to prove it.  To prove something correct, it is
necessary to prove ALL the claims.  If one claim suspected of being
wrong, all the other claims become suspect and are likely to be
summarily dismissed as also wrong.  That makes disproving something
much easier as only one false or suspect claim is all that's necessary
for the house of cards to collapse.

 

Doesn't seem to have stopped the theists.

 It never will.  Dogma carries on forever.
 What really happens is that the true believers are granted their
favorite wish, which is to meet and be judged by God(tm) and his
authorized representatives.  The usual result is a stern lecture by
God(tm) rebuking the recently deceased loyal follower for the cost of
their re-education so that they might learn to think for
independently.  The cost of dealing with the dogmatics, fanatics,
inflexibles, unteachables, etc is both astronomical and limitless.
It's only after this point that the true believers realize the error
of their ways and begin thinking properly.
 

(IOW - where does that leave god?)

 Same as always and living off the proceeds from the sale of
indulgences to the true believers by God's self-authorized
representatives.
