Good points.

I think the part that offends me is the rhetorical disingenuousness. First the define "God" in such a way that all meaning is removed (I.e. He is nothing more than the quintessence of being itself!). That debate is won, immediately pivot to trying to make claims about how "He" created the universe as a positive act of will; and how he "gave His only begotten Son", etc...

It's as though I claim the existence of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, you ask why I'd believe in something so arbitrary, Inreply that the FSM is nothing more nor less than "Love". Well okay then, if that's the case, I believe in the FSM too. Love exists.

And once I get your concession, I immediately start making proclamations about his pants size, and what brand of scotch he favors.

If the theologians want to define God downward to "being" that's fine, but you forfeit all right to make claims about Being's position on same-sex unions, or whether Being prefers the rhythm method to The Pill.[/quote]

How is it disingenuous to think of God in a way that actually makes sense? It's not. The problem is, you don't believe in God. Bully for you. But people are different. You need to learn to accept that some people have belief, and it's a good thing that some people are different from you. (A really good thing....)[/quote]
