Why?

I asked how you derived the attributes of this "God". You said:

What may be known about God is plain to men, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen.

That's question-begging, because you are assuming attributes of God (that it has made its attributes plain to men) and using that assumption to prove your conclusion. The problem is that your initial assumption is your conclusion.

A whole lot of folks don't see what's wrong with that.

You asked me how I know God's attributes. I am responding that I know because He has made them plain, not just to me, but to everybody. This thought is not original to me.
