If one accepts the argument that:

"The existence of the (Christian) god is true, because it cannot be disproved."

Then once must accept the argument that:

"The things which cannot be disproved, exist (and are true)"

Therefore all gods, be they Judeo-Christian, Hindu, Pagan et al must exist - because they cannot be disproved.

Given the exclusivity of Christianity's claims of a single god, it's not an argument that they will get very far with.
