The meaninglessness of the Christian god concept

Well quite. You don't understand Christianity. See my response to toro above.

Xtianity isn't polytheistic: holds that many gods make up the Godhead. But monotheistic: has only one God in the Godhead, whilst acknowledging that other gods (which are already evidenced in the cultural context) do exist.

Of course the terms 'deity' and 'God' are both fully identified and obviously seperate in definition, in exactly the same way as man and homosapien are!

Captain... you are trying to say that 'gods', because the term can be applied to all religious deity's, invalidates the word 'God' when considering ONLY the Christian God. This is a point made that you just by saying 'oh no it isn't IS NOT CHALLENGED. Sorry for the caps but I'm getting really tired of repeating myself.

You seem to have changed from a person who could make and take vlid points into someone who like Rhythm, ignores everything put to them and baselessly repeats the same old bullshit.

I think you are focussing too much on the terms: 'god', 'Deity, 'man', 'homo spaien' and not enough on the description I have provided with them. The failure is either mine to convey information, yours to understand or both. But the argument is sound.
I'm sorry Captain I can't see a point there.

How is God (The specific Xtian God)'s nature not described and describable?

I see. So you are saying that God isn't defined because you don't know the definitions. An argument from ignorance? Because he is very thoroughly defined in the bible, for you to check out and know exactly that definition.

If you claim that this God has no definitions, surely the oness is upon you to find out if that claim is correct. I'm not making any claims: I'm just pointing out the flaw in yours, and showing you the evidence.

(November 11, 2011 at 1:58 am)Captain Scarlet Wrote: We are left with the impression that god is mysterious, unknowable, etc currently which would ultimately render the term god meaningless as per the original argument.
A gross generalisation intended to make something undefined where it clearly isn't. Only to you is God meaningless and unknowable. Internally, to you, therefore, is the only place where this supposition works. You define your own misunderstanding.
