What do you want us to disprove?  That a race of talking donkeys on a planet in orbit about Proxima Centauri do not exist?

I wasn't addressing you.  So I didn't ask you to do anything.   I was talking to the Muppet.

But you are on a public forum, one which anyone including yourself is invited to participate. When you say something publicly then you cannot control who replies.

You can always use the PM function, if you want to have a private conversation with another board member.

Right, and I responded.  I didn't ask the other guy to do anything, so what do you think I should do besides let him know I was addressing someone else?  Did you even read the discussion?

God - capitalized : the supreme or ultimate reality: such as

a : the Being perfect in power, wisdom, and goodness who is worshipped as creator and ruler of the universe

b Christian Science : the incorporeal divine Principle ruling over all as eternal Spirit : infinite Mind

___

There are also three other definitions from this dictionary.  For the sake of discussion, I would propose 1a.

Bit vague isn't it. what does that all mean practically.

Oh and ruler! how do they rule? what is the process etc etc.

I guess you could always write a letter to M-W and ask them why they won't put better quality definitions in their dictionaries.  Maybe tell them why they didn't do a good enough job so they know not to make the same mistake.  Maybe they'll even recall all of their dictionaries and send out a public apology.

I did answer his question.  Just not how you wanted me to.
